Prince William was among the jubilant Aston Villa supporters in Istanbul on Wednesday night as the club secured a 3-0 victory over Freiburg in the Europa League final, winning their first European trophy since 1982.
The future King was seen at Besiktas Park celebrating goals from Youri Tielemans, Emi Buendia, and Morgan Rogers, which put Villa in control by half-time and sealed the win on the hour mark.
Victory gives Villa their first major trophy in 30 years and marks another triumph for manager Unai Emery, who has now won five Europa League titles, with his only defeat in the final coming in 2019 when his Arsenal side lost to Chelsea.
Emery had already secured Champions League football for Villa next season after a strong Premier League campaign, with the team needing just a point from their final game to finish fourth.
Villa's last major cup final appearance was in the 2019-20 Carabao Cup, where they lost 2-1 to Manchester City at Wembley.
