McGinn invites Prince William to join Villa's Europa celebrations
Aston Villa captain John McGinn invited Prince William to join his side's Europa League victory party after the royal watched their 3-0 win in Wednesday's final against Freiburg.
William is an avid Villa fan and was in the stands at the Besiktas Stadium as Unai Emery's side clinched the club's first major trophy for 30 years.
He also spoke to Villa's players in the dressing room before kick-off in Istanbul, prompting McGinn to tell him to get involved in the post-match celebrations.
"He is a classy guy," McGinn told TNT Sport. "He was in the dressing room before the game. He is a massive Villa fan so he was never going to miss it.
"He is just a normal guy. It's great to have his support and hopefully it continues and tonight he can have a couple of drinks with us and maybe get his credit card out at the end of the night!"
The Prince has attended many of Villa's matches in recent years and was seen celebrating wildly as Youri Tielemans, Emiliano Buendia and Morgan Rogers scored the goals that sealed the club's first major European trophy for 44 years.
He even pulled out his phone to film the moment McGinn lifted the trophy in a confetti-filled celebration.
"Amazing night!! Huge congratulations to all the players, team, staff and everyone connected to the club! 44 years since the last taste of European silverware!" the Prince wrote on social media.
