Prince William celebrated the historic victory of his favorite football team, Aston Villa. On Wednesday, May 20, the team won their first major European trophy since 1982. The Prince shared his delight on social media, praising the team.
Amazing evening! Go Villa! — William wrote emotionally after the victory.
William’s favorite team defeated German team Freiburg in a match in Istanbul after Morgan Rodgers scored the decisive goal in the 58th minute. It is the first major European trophy for the club, whose roots are in Birmingham, since winning the European Cup in 1982 – the same year William was born.
A video posted by a spectator shows William jubilant during the game, even giving a mischievous thumbs-up to another football fan.
Before leaving for Turkey, William posted words of encouragement for the players on social media.
Good luck in tonight’s Europa League final! UTV! — he wrote on his official social media account.
