Leah Williamson faces the unique challenge of reconciling her dual identity as an Arsenal fan and a professional player ahead of her first Champions League final against Barcelona. She reflects on the importance of focusing on her role as a player despite her deep-rooted fandom. Drawing from past experiences, including her presence at a previous European final as a child, she emphasizes the need to manage emotions while giving her all for her team, stating her commitment to perform for both herself and the supporters.
"Do your job, Leah, and then the fan in you gets to enjoy it afterwards... that’s not my focus for the day my job is to be a player."
"Williamson's fandom and playing career have been intertwined from the moment she sidestepped her dad's attempts to get her to support Tottenham."
