So what makes Little so special in the eyes of team-mates? The display against Lyon epitomised her all-around strength as a midfielder. She found space to get Arsenal moving, while getting stuck in and arriving into the box to get in positions to score. Former England striker Ellen White played with Little during her first spell at Arsenal - as well as with Great Britain at the Olympics - and came up against her in the Women's Super League too. "I don't want to throw this word around a lot with players, but she is an absolute legend," White said on BBC 5 Live's Women's Football Weekly podcast. "She is the GOAT. She is unbelievable. Her technical ability, her football intelligence. Her feet are like Velcro, the ball just sticks to her. But then her timing of runs into the box as well. "She's a phenomenal leader. She doesn't scream. She doesn't shout. She lets her football do the talking. It's her presence." Jen Beattie was a team-mate at Arsenal and Scotland and also believes Little's quiet leadership and attitude help to make her so good. "She leads by example - she doesn't overly talk negative, but she's solution-focused," said Beattie. "She's the kind of person that you look to during the match and be like, how do we solve this? What do you think of that? And she'd always be so calm and collected."
