The Prince of Wales was in Paris alongside his son Prince George and childhood friend Thomas van Straubenzee to watch Aston Villa in their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Paris St-Germain on Wednesday night.<\/b><\/p>\n

However, despite the diehard Villa fan wearing his “lucky clothes” they lost 3-1 in the Parc des Princes<\/a> and face a difficult task in the return leg at Villa Park next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Prince William said he was “pretty terrified” and “nervous” but predicted a 2-1 victory when he spoke to TNT Sports pundits Rio Ferdinand and Ally McCoist on the touchline before the game. <\/p>\n

He said it was a “big deal” to take George, who was wearing a Villa scarf, and the pair were seen punching the air and hugging when Morgan Rogers gave their team a first-half lead.<\/p>\n

But PSG, who were crowned French champions on Saturday<\/a>, fought back and scored three unanswered goals to take control of the tie. <\/p>\n

Prince William, who was in the crowd for Villa’s home win over Bayern Munich and in Monaco in January, was asked if he was on a “lads’ tour” by former England international Ferdinand.<\/p>\n

“Well, I’ve got my son here as well, so I’m on best behaviour,” he replied.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“I hope it’s not 43 years until the next one happens, but I think those memories are really important to create and bringing him along tonight is a big deal for me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
