The royal family member shared "I've lost my voice... I can't quite believe it. 42 years!” after the match.

Later on William greeted former footballers who make Aston Villa victorious in 1982 European Cup final.

Kensington Palace also posted about the match on social media, "42 years on, our 1982 European Cup winning legends are here on an historic night for Aston Villa. Ready for the first game on home turf in this year's European adventure... Up The Villa!"

The prince further revealed, “All my friends were Chelsea or Manchester United fans and I didn't really want to follow the run-of-the-mill team.”

William concluded the statement by praising the club and noted the match took him on a “emotional roller coaster.”
