Right back Lucy Bronze believes England's experience in winning a major final at last year's Euros could be crucial in Sunday's Women's World Cup title-decider against a Spain side she knows well.
Bronze lost World Cup semi-finals with England in 2015 and 2019 but was a core member of the Lionesses team that beat Germany to win a first major title at the European Championship last year.
"I'm excited," she added. "I'm really good friends with a couple of them, my team mates in Barcelona, myself and Keira know them very well. England needed a huge defensive effort and were forced to come from a goal down to beat Spain in extra time in the quarter-finals of last year's Euros. Bronze said England's resilience in the face of such setbacks would also hold them in good stead back at Stadium Australia on Sunday.
