Leah Williamson's unwavering rise from Arsenal mascot to history-making England captain

As the final whistle blew at Wembley in July 2022 Leah Williamson fell to her knees having just become the first person to captain England to a major tournament trophy since 1966. It marked an early pinnacle to the then 25-year-old's career, though little did she know that just three years later she would be hoisting another European trophy, this time with her childhood club.

Having spent the last 19 years in north London, Williamson's journey may well read as a linear trajectory to the top but such commitment to one club is almost never so simple. Advertisement From gymnastics to star striker While football was not Williamson's first sport, it was the one that truly captured her imagination and she made no hesitation to make the switch. It was in a gymnastics session, when a teacher threw a ball for the girls to play with at the end, that she first discovered her talent. 'All the girls just ran around after it. But I was actually quite good and I really enjoyed it so I went home and told my mum that I wanted to play football,' Williamson told the FA. 'Mum got me a trial at Scot Youth, the local team, and the coach said he wasn't going to give me any sympathy just because I was a girl; if I wasn't good enough I wouldn't be able to join the team.

As the only girl on a boys' team it certainly did not make for the easiest start to life in a football shirt, but for Williamson it was merely another opportunity for growth. 'I used to get abuse from the sidelines every week,' she recalled. 'My mum made me wear a gumshield to protect my teeth because everybody wanted to kick lumps out of me, but it didn't put me off. Advertisement 'You couldn't get me out of my football kit. I absolutely loved it. That year at Scot Youth made me a stronger person, 100 per cent.' Arsenal through and through Had fate turned another way, there is every chance Williamson would have grown up wearing the lilywhite of Tottenham Hotspur - her dad and brother both being fans of Arsenal's north London rivals. But Williamson opted for the club of her mum and grandma and in 2006 joined the Gunners - who represented the best club in English women's football by no small margin at the time. It allowed the young defender to witness firsthand legends of the game like Kelly Smith, Rachel Yankey, Faye White and now close friend Alex Scott. Advertisement 'That for me was always the most humbling thing, playing with people that I idolised,' she told The Guardian. 'At one point they seemed so far away and then all of a sudden you're in the same training session and you're basically trying to not let them down.'

Since then, Williamson has never wavered in her commitment to her childhood club, winning a WSL title, two FA Cups, four League Cups and, of course, a UWCL title. Advertisement 'I've made decisions throughout my career to be somewhere where I feel like I am challenged, and I just have to do it in different ways,' she told The Sports Agents podcast. 'If you go to a new team, if you have a new manager, new teammates, new environment, those are different stimulus. I don't have that… I have to just challenge myself in different ways." Leading the country While 2018 was a momentous year as it saw the start of the season in which Williamson won her first, and so far only, WSL title, but it was also the then 21-year-old's England debut. She came on in England's 3-1 victory over Russia in a 2019 World Cup Qualifier, a tournament she was selected for just under a year later. Advertisement But she was not unfamiliar with the Three Lions shirt, having progressed through the age groups for England, captaining the under-17s in the 2014 European Championships. Following England's 2019 World Cup campaign, during which Phil Neville admitted he did not use Williamson as much as he perhaps should have, the Lionesses went through a change of manager. -Credit:PA Wire/PA Images And that leadership experience that Williamson had first built up as a youngster, would be rewarded as she was handed the armband for the senior team in April 2022 by Sarina Wiegman. 'This is an incredibly proud moment for me and my family and I'm honoured to be asked to lead us at the Euros,' she told England Football upon the announcement. Advertisement 'Steph Houghton is one of this country's all-time greats and to follow in her footsteps – and all of those special names who have led the team in the past - means so much.' European glory Just three months after being made captain, Williamson was stood in front of a sold-out crowd at Wembley lifting the Lionesses' first-ever major tournament trophy. It was a moment that thrust her name into the spotlight as the Euro 2022 victory changed the lives of the squad, and young girls growing up playing football in England. "It makes me happy because that was what we set out to do," Williamson told BBC Sport. Advertisement "We also set out to win it, that was the missing piece and we knew what impact that could have - and look what it's done. "Football is such a beautiful thing, but I'm not just here to play football. We have a long way to go and the ceiling is higher and higher every year."

Almost exactly a year on from being named skipper, Williamson sustained an ACL injury while playing for Arsenal against Manchester United. It would rule her out of their run to the Champions League semi-finals and stop her competing Down Under in the summer's World Cup. Advertisement But in 2025, she made up for lost time in Europe's premier club competition as, and just as she had done three years before at Wembley, Williamson hoisted the UWCL trophy alongside captain Kim Little in Lisbon. It fulfilled a lifelong dream for the young girl who had been a mascot in Arsenal's 2007 European victory, and justified her commitment to a club that occupied such a large place in her heart. 'I've just completed my 19th season, I think, at Arsenal, so it feels a little crazy…,' she added to The Sports Agents. 'I remember the last time Arsenal were in a final, and to now be on the pitch is, I suppose, a tiny bit of validation for like, you know, the career path that I chose, which is nice." Advertisement 'I didn't want to end my career just being loyal. Loyalty is great but loyalty with trophies is just something else,' she said after Arsenal's trophy parade. "This week I've spoken to Tony Adams and Thierry Henry, people I watched and they were incredible and they won and that's why they are remembered the way they are." With Williamson already in those echelons, she will hope she can also make up for lost time with England this summer as the Lionesses chase a trophy defence in Switzerland.

Why Cristiano Ronaldo did not attend Diogo Jota's funeral

Cristiano Ronaldo's surprising decision to skip teammate Diogo Jota's funeral was made out of respect for the grieving family, his sister claimed. One of the biggest soccer stars in the world was noticeably absent as Jota — the Portugal star who was killed alongside his brother Andre Silva on Thursday in a car crash — was laid to rest. Ronaldo's concern was that his presence would draw attention away from Jota and his family, including his wife of just two weeks, with whom he shared three children. Diogo Jota's wife Rute Cardoso (C) follows the coffin of Portuguese football player Diogo Jota carried out of the church after the funeral ceremony of Liverpool's Portuguese forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. AFP via Getty Images Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, recalled the invasion of privacy and 'media circus' when their own father died in 2005 as she defended her brother. 'It is absurdly shameful to watch TV channels/commentators/social networks emphasizing an absence rather than respectfully honoring the pain of a mutilated family destroyed by the loss of two brothers. I am even ashamed to watch. Regrettable,' Aveiro wrote on social media, according to reported English translations. 'And so the world goes… Society and opinion. Today they are worthless. They themselves have become bottomless pits. I feel sorry… And war is also like that. Believe me. Human evil is also a war. And every day we have to fight against it. And so it goes.' Jota's funeral was held in the small town of Gondomar and his graveyard reportedly had to be shut off from the public because soccer fans were taking selfies at the headstone after his family left the site. So Ronaldo's concern about becoming a distraction might have been justified.

AP 'When my father died, in addition to the pain of loss we had to deal with a flood of cameras and curious onlookers at the cemetery and everywhere we went,' Aveiro wrote. 'And attention was not what it is today in terms of access… At no time were we (the children) able to leave the chapel; it was only possible at the time of the burial, such was the commotion. 'At the funeral, there were presidents, coaches of the national team at the time, such as Luís Filipe Scolari, etc. I don't remember seeing any of them. And they certainly greeted me. The pain blinded me.' Ronaldo expressed his grief in a social media post: 'It doesn't make sense. We were just together in the national team, and you had just gotten married. To your family, your wife and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. 'I know you will always be with them. Rest in peace, Diogo and Andre. We will all miss you.' Ronaldo and Jota helped Portugal defeat Spain in the Nations League final last month. Jota also starred for Liverpool. 'It's the fear of creating a media circus because you want to do something and being unable to focus on what is really important,' Aveiro reportedly wrote. 'Silence is also empathy. Perhaps we need to learn from this. Not everything is as it seems.'

How to watch Fluminense vs Chelsea live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction

Fluminense and Chelsea meet at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Tuesday with a place in the FIFA Club World Cup final on the line. A place in the final and at least $30 million, and $40 million if they win the competition. Advertisement MORE — Prize money list for Club World Cup Brazilian giants Fluminense have been one of the stories of the competition so far, with veteran 40-year-old defender Thiago Silva rolling back the years to lead them to the final four. Fluminense will be the underdogs against Chelsea but they were very impressive against Inter Milan in the last 16 and got the job done against Al Hilal in the quarters. They've kept three shutouts in their five games so far at the Club World Cup and have looked particularly dangerous on the counter. MORE — Club World Cup schedule, bracket Chelsea are used to facing Brazilian opponents by this point, as they lost to Flamengo in the group stage and beat Palmeiras in the quarterfinals. Enzo Maresca's young side are looking really good in attack and after adding Joao Pedro they are even more stacked. There are so many options for Maresca to choose from, especially going forward, but he's got the balance right in the knockout rounds so far and better finishing would have made life a lot more comfortable for themselves. Advertisement How to watch Fluminense vs Chelsea live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 3pm ET Tuesday (July 8) Venue: MetLife Stadium — East Rutherford, New Jersey TV Channel/Streaming: Stream every game live on DAZN, for free Fluminense team news, focus Thiago Silva anchors the defense and keeps everything ticking over for his boyhood club Fluminense. It will be a special day for Silva, who played a key role in Chelsea's Champions League win which qualified them for this Club World Cup. Fluminense play a 3-5-2 system and look to get the ball wide, whip in crosses and are very good on the break. Advertisement Chelsea team news, focus Moises Caicedo is back available after suspension which is a massive boost given his form and importance in the holding midfield role. Andrey Santos came in and did really well in midfield in the last game, but Caicedo will start. In attack Joao Pedro had a big impact after coming off the bench but it's still too early for him to start. Liam Delap will likely start again, while Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto will start underneath them and Nkunku and Madueke will scrap it out for the other attacking midfield spot. Fluminense vs Chelsea prediction This is going to be a fascinating tactical battle. Chelsea will have plenty of the ball, as they usually do, and Fluminense will be fine with that as they look to pick them off on the break. This has the feeling of an extra time game. Fluminense 1-2 Chelsea.
