PRINCE William joined Aston Villa’s European football legends ahead of their Champions League clash at Villa Park.
Wills, a Villa fan, was in the stands at Villa Park last night to watch his team’s battle with giants Bayern Munich - led by England skipper Harry Kane.
Players from the 1982 Euro final where Villa beat Bayern 1-0 thanks to a Peter Withe strike, met before the game.
And Wills got a chance to speak to Villa legends and even get close to the famous European Cup trophy.
In a touching tribute, the players posed with football shirts including one in the name of former striker Gary Shaw.
The footy legend died earlier this month aged 63-years-old.

Wills posted online at the time: “The last time @AVFCOfficial won in the top European competition, it was the month before I was born. Let’s hope tonight is the first step towards another European adventure!
“My thoughts this evening are also with Villa legend Gary Shaw’s friends and family following his passing yesterday.”
The Prince of Wales shared the group photo with the football legends on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He wrote: "42 years on, our 1982 European Cup-winning legends are here on a historic night for @AVFCOfficial.
"Ready for the first game on home turf in this year's European adventure..."
William will be hoping that Aston Villa beat the German giants to position themselves closer to the knockout rounds.
Despite having never lived in Birmingham and no family affinity to the club, the prince is an avid follower Villa.
Earlier this year, he explained to a couple of lifelong Wrexham fans why he followed the club.
He said: "A good friend took me to my first game when I was yea high, it was when Paul Merson was playing for them.
"When we got relegated it made me want to support them even more, but it’s emotional and it hurts."
