1.24: UWCL Final

I wake up to Erin singing. I sit up and rub my face. "Morning, Ez" I said, smiling. "Morning" said Erin. She's dressed and I smile. I head to the bathroom and pull on my Chelsea tracksuit. I pull on my runners and brush my hair. I do my hair in a French braid. I smile and look in the mirror. Time to go.

We head downstairs for breakfast. We have our porridge and tea before heading to the stadium. We walk around and we sit down. Millie smiles at me and she glances at me. We begin chatting about life, our partners and then we talk about football.

Soon it's time to warm up and we then we head out onto the pitch. We begin to warm up and then once we finish, we head inside the changing room. We pull on our kits and I smile. "We can do this" I said. Emma smiles. "I already said my speech during warm up, so Millie is here to say hers" said Emma, nodding.

Millie stands up and nods. "Right, girls. We are going to go out there and show everyone who we are. Who Chelsea is. We are going to go and try to win. We will make the fans, our families, Emma proud! Let's go girls!" said Millie. We cheer and we head out to the tunnel. We smile and nod at each other.

We walk out and we line up. I spot Leah and Lia. I smile and nod. We shake Lyon's players hands.

We run on to the pitch and hug each other. I jump on Erin and hug her. "WE DONE IT!" I yell. "WE DID!" yelled Erin. We shake hands with Lyon players before they get their runners up medal. Soon it's our turn and once we get it, we wait for Millie.

Once Millie comes over, we do the trophy lift. We run around with the trophy and I spot Leah. I run over and she smiles. She pulls me in for a kiss. "I am so proud of you" said Leah, hugging me tight. "Thank you, I love you" I said. "I love you" said Leah.
