VIDEO: 'Alessia Russo's biggest fan!' - Mary Earps dons Arsenal shirt to support Lionesses team-mate as Gunners beat Barcelona in Champions League final

In a heartwarming show of solidarity, Earps arrived at the stadium wearing Russo’s Arsenal jersey, sharing the moment in a video that quickly went viral on the internet. The duo share a close-knit bond and the keeper's tribute showcased her unwavering support for her compatriot, even when club allegiances differ.

Earps shared the video on Instagram and wrote: "@ALESSIA YOUR BIGGEST FAN IS HERE".

In what proved to be one of the biggest surprises in recent women’s football history, Arsenal toppled Barcelona in a fiercely contested final in Lisbon, clinching their first UEFA Women’s Champions League title since 2007. Super substitute Stina Blackstenius stepped up in the second half to score the decisive goal, handing the Gunners a hard-fought 1-0 victory.

With their club duties temporarily set aside, both Russo and Earps will soon reunite under the national banner, as Sarina Wiegman’s England side prepares for two critical fixtures during the May-June FIFA international window. The Lionesses are scheduled to host Portugal on May 30, followed by an away trip to Spain on June 3 — the final matchdays of their UEFA Women’s Nations League campaign.
