big team against a small team. it'll just be another one to chalk up for watford, then it would be a lifetime achievement for one. just got off the plane from new york to pick up some merchandise for the game tomorrow. so you come from the states to be at wembley? absolutely, wouldn't miss it for the world. watford have played an fa cup final before, they lost in 1984. many will remember elton john‘s emotions. before, they lost in 1984. many will remember eltonjohn‘s emotions. well tomorrow's game is for the next generation. it could be 35 years until you get there again. joe wilson, bbc news, watford. there's a huge match in budapest tomorrow, where defending champions lyon meet barcelona in the women's champions league final. lyon are aiming to win their title in a row with the help of england's lucy bronze, who lines up against her international team—mate, toni duggan of barcelona. barcelona is a club, and a massive club but on the women's team
