England's captain says Lionesses are 'connected to what it means for nation' ahead of Women's Euros final

Leah Williamson has said England are "aware" and "connected" to what it would mean for the nation if they were to beat Spain in Sunday's Women's Euros final.

The Lionesses have led a charmed life in the knockout stages of the tournament they won at Wembley four years ago. England captain Williamson was asked by Sky News' Rob Harris at a news conference what it would mean to have the chance to lift a trophy again, and if she could grasp what it would mean for the nation.

"I think we are connected to what it means to the nation, as connected as we can be being away from home," she said. "The opportunity of tomorrow and what's on offer is the best thing in football.

"We came to the tournament and wanted to be in it until the end, and have a chance to fight for that trophy. "I think we don't necessarily carry the weight of it [the expectations] and how much it means to people, but we are aware of it because it means the same to us.

"We recognise the opportunity and will do everything we can to take it."
