The Prince of Wales, 42, held a drink in his hand as he stood in a hospitality box at the packed out stadium.
Young Prince George, 11, donned a half-and-half scarf as he played with his hands nervously pre-game.
Aston Villa were outclassed in the first leg in Paris with a Morgan Rogers’ opener being ruled out by three good PSG goals which saw them take firm control of the tie.
Proud Villa fans are ready to play their part and host a European classic to help push John McGinn‘s men across the line.
The future King of England and the 40,000 fans in Villa Park this evening will need to witness at least two home goals for them to stand any chance of qualifying.
If Aston Villa can win the match by two clear goals then the crunch tie will go to extra time and then penalties.
But a mammoth three goal margin of victory over the French champions will see Emery’s side go through to the semi-finals.
Hopes are still high for a win with Villa on a 17-match unbeaten run at home in all competitions which stretches back to November 2024.
William and George also went to the first leg in Paris as they went through a roller coaster of emotions in the game.
The Prince of Wales was seen wildly celebrating and hugging his son after Villa’s first-half goal.
But later on, the Prince was seen with his head in his hands as the full-time whistle blew at 3-1.
William was in the crowd for Villa’s victory over Bayern Munich earlier in the competition and away to Monaco in January.
He first fell in love with Aston Villa after being taken to a match by friends as a boy.
The heir said he was gripped by the “sense of belonging” and the passion of his fellow football fans.
Wills also revealed he visits fan forums anonymously online — and moves his kids around when watching at home to bring the team luck.
