    Chloe Kelly may well have laughed if you'd told her before Christmas she'd have a Women's Champions League winners medal around her neck.

    "I said I was coming to this club to find happiness with football and I have a medal round my neck," an emotional Kelly told BBC Sport's Jo Currie. "Every day that I come into the club I'm smiling. They put the smile back on my face so I will forever be grateful for that.

    "I took a step to try and make things better for myself and I'm grateful for the people around me that supported me to take that step. This one is for everyone that helped me do that."

    Friends Bill Tasselli from York and Daisy Goodhand from Lincolnshire stayed over last night in St Albans and were at Armoury Square "nice and early".

    Daisy said they made the journey "just to be here with everybody, our favourite people...and to see the girls as well".

    "I am so glad they put this on and that so many people are here, because it’s testament to what we’ve been doing all season," she added. "It may go under the radar sometimes but this is what we do every week. We show up in our thousands no matter where it is and the Arsenal squad know that and we know how much they appreciate it, so we weren’t going to miss this for the world."

    I was right there at the stadium watching the seemingly neverending celebrations on the pitch. I'm back home now and feeling every bit of it, so I'm leaving this one to the many Gooners who couldn't be there on Saturday.

    I missed my flight, it was absolutely worth it. I went out with the girls after, all my old teammates were there, my old manager Vik Akers. They were all so respectful of what we did but now it is their time.
