Prince George joined his father, Prince William, to watch in person the Champions League quarter-final match held at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night. The young prince, 11, looked dapper as he donned a blue jumper above a shirt and a black jacket - an outfit very similar to that of his father.
Minutes before the beginning of the match, Prince William gave a lengthy interview to TNT Sport, during which he admitted to be "pretty terrified" ahead of the clash. Asked if he was nervous, he said: " I'm pretty terrified. It's been a while coming this, so it's a big game. 43 years since the last time this happened, a big European night for Villa. So yeah, I'm nervous, but I'm confident, but also excited by the whole prospect."
Asked in the interview ahead of the match, William was asked whether he was on a "lads tour" whilst at the game - when he jokingly admitted that he would be on his "best behaviour" because he had George with him.
He said, "Well, I've got my son here as well, so I'm on my best behaviour as well. But I thought, you know what? It's been 43 years since anything like this has happened in my generation as a Villa fan, and I want George to experience a night out away from home in a big European competition."
Adding that he felt he was making memories with his son, William added: "I hope it's not 43 years until the next time it happens. But I think those memories are really important to create and bring him along tonight is a big deal for me."
Asked whether he was encouraging George to support Aston Villa tonight, he added: "I get asked that a lot, Rio. no, I'm generally very open to whoever they support, but obviously I'm a bit biased."
The proud father also made sure to mention his other two children, Princess Charlotte, 9, and six-year-old Prince Louis.
Noting that they were likely be watching the game at home, Wiliam added: "But also they come to games with Villa. They're gonna probably support villa, but I've left the other two at home, probably watching tonight, so we'll wait and see who they support."
