    Arsenal

    Arsenal's goalscorer of their Champions League-winning goal, Stina Blackstenius: "It's just amazing standing here with this team and all of you. We won the Champions League and it feels unbelievable in every way."

    On her feelings when she came on as a substitute: "It's a huge game to play. I was quite nervous of course. We spoke about stretching them, it only takes one opportunity.

    "It all went so quick. It was a really, really good pass. I just tried to hit the target. When I saw it was actually a goal I was a bit in shock at first. I'm just so happy."

    The manager got everything right, her tactics were bang on, then even more impressively her substitutions especially Mead and Blackstenius changed the game and won it, very impressive woman, only 36 too! Renee Slegers deserves a lot of praise for that as well, it feels managers only really get noticed when bad things happen these days!

    On her defensive performance: "It's a difficult task to defend against Barcelona. It was a bit of an onslaught at time but we did good. We had a game plan and everyone delivered.

    "My club. My Arsenal. Champions League winners. European champions. Let's go."

    Arsenal came into this as complete underdogs. You're talking about a team that has dominated, won the past two Champions Leagues, stormed to the final, incredible aggregate scores against Bayern Munich and Chelsea - who dominated the WSL this year.

    To win the Champions League, you're marking your place in history. They will become legends.
