Leah Williamson can't wait to face "warrior" Arsenal team-mate as Lionesses take on Brazil

Leah Williamson says she is "in awe" of Arsenal teammate Rafaelle as the two international captains face off in the first women's Finalissima.

Williamson will go looking for her third trophy as England skipper when the Lionesses take on Brazil at Wembley on Thursday night. But she will be up against her centre-back partner at club level, the two having shown impressive form since the turn of the year to help Arsenal to the last four of the Women's Champions League and be right in the mix for the WSL title.

In the clash between European and South American champions, one of the duo will lift the Finalissima trophy under the Wembley arch for the first time. But Williamson is well aware of the capability of her Arsenal teammate and is wary of a different experience going up against her.
