Prince William attended the Champions League match in Monaco on Tuesday, where he witnessed his beloved Aston Villa suffer a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Stade Louis II. The future king of England, known as one of Villa’s most prominent supporters, was unable to inspire his team to victory in this crucial encounter.
Television cameras captured the prince in the stands, dressed in a blue jacket with a grey sweater layered over a blue shirt. Despite the chilly weather in the principality, he remained engaged, rubbing his hands together as he conversed with a companion beside him. This match marked a stark contrast to his previous experience at Villa’s earlier victory against Bayern Munich in the competition.
The defeat has significant implications for Aston Villa’s campaign, jeopardizing their chances of automatic qualification for the round of 16. Currently positioned provisionally in seventh place with one match remaining in the league phase, Villa faces the risk of falling out of the top eight. Should they finish between ninth and 24th, they will be forced into a playoff to secure advancement to the next stage of the tournament.
