LEAH WILLIAMSON says winning the Champions League final later this month will help Arsenal reclaim their seat at the top table of the women’s game.

The Gunners take on Barcelona in the showpiece event in Lisbon on May 24, aiming to win their first European trophy since lifting the Women’s Uefa Cup in 2007.

Arsenal have traditionally been one of the strongest clubs, but they have recently been caught up and overtaken by other sides following the rapid development of the women’s game, especially on the domestic front.
