Prince William hailed Aston Villa's 'absolute gentlemen' of a manager Unai Emery who he revealed has been a source of knowledge.
The future King took his place among the Villa faithful at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night as the Midlands club contested their first European Cup quarter-final in more than four decades.
Villa's return to the European elite has coincided with the appointment of four-time Europa League winner Emery, who took over the reins of the club when they were in danger of being relegated to the Championship.
