Leah Williamson: Women's Euro final is just the start for England

and

will face each other in this year's Women's European Championship final on Sunday. Germany has won this title eight times but England has finished runner-up two times.

Ahead of the final,

says this match is not the end of the story for this Lionesses team.

"I think what we've seen in the tournament already is this hasn't just been a change for women's football but society in general. How we're looked upon,"

she said in a news conference.

"Tomorrow is not the end of a journey but the start of one. Regardless of the result of that, there'll be a nice moment for reflection.

"It's my job to go out for 90 minutes and play to win, but when we look back, we've really started something. I want this to be a mark for the future, not looking back on what's gone before.

"If I stick to my processes I've had as a footballer, it would be silly to look any further ahead than the 90 minutes. Tomorrow's a day of opportunity.

"That's the only thing that makes it different from any other game, that the stakes are that much higher. This is what we all live for, and this is why I play football.

"This has felt unachievable for a very long time, the people that have come before that have had to fight.

"I've only ever been involved in this workplace, in football, but in most workplaces around the world, women have a few more battles to face and try to overcome.

"For every success we make and every change of judgment or perception or opening the eyes of somebody who [now] views women as somebody with the potential to be equal to her male counterpart...

"It's a powerful message, that in a typically male-dominated environment these strides that we take forward can impact everybody on that wider scale."
