That's all for this live page and what a day for Arsenal as they beat Barcelona to win the Women's Champions League on a memorable afternoon in Lisbon.

Thank you for your company and your comments.

Until next time, bye for now.

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Renee Slegers: "I was at the club in 2007 so I have an idea where the club comes from.

"I had lunch with Vic Akers [Arsenal's 2007 Uefa Women's Cup winning boss] this week and it was fantastic to see him and get his perspective.

"I think there is so many people that have been investing in it for such a long time and I am such a small part of it.

"Thank you so much to those people."

Stina Blackstenius scored the winner as Arsenal stunned European giants Barcelona to win their first Women's Champions League title in 18 years.

The Sweden international took one touch before firing the ball past goalkeeper Cata Coll from 10 yards after being played in by a superb pass from fellow substitute Beth Mead. Arsenal had been pitted as underdogs going into the match, with Barcelona having won three of the past four European titles.

The victory reaffirms Arsenal's status as one of Europe's elite, echoing the achievements of those in 2007 when the Gunners enjoyed countless glory days. Barcelona, boasting two-time Ballon d'Or winners Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas in their line-up, have dominated club football in recent years but struggled to make their mark in a pulsating final in Lisbon.

The defending champions were rattled initially when defender Irene Paredes poked the ball into the back of her own net in the first half, only for Frida Maanum to be ruled offside in the build-up after a video assistant referee (VAR) check.

Further chances came and went for Arsenal with Maanum again causing problems, testing goalkeeper Coll with a fierce effort from the edge of the box. Captain Kim Little missed a huge chance when she sent her shot sailing over the bar from a corner - doubts beginning to creep in that Arsenal's opportunity was passing them by.

Barcelona began to find more space and Ewa Pajor's cross-shot was deflected onto the crossbar shortly after the break.

Ona Batlle hit a powerful strike from distance and Pajor had efforts inside the box but the Arsenal defence held firm, throwing every part of their bodies in front of goalbound shots and quietening the vociferous Barcelona support in Portugal.

This will go down as one of the greatest nights in Arsenal's illustrious history - and perhaps the first of many successes under manager Renee Slegers' tenure.

Arsenal boss Renee Slegers reflecting on her journey since taking interim charge in October: "It's been a fantastic time. There are so many things that have happened this season and so many hard times we have gone through together as a team. We've always fought back and as a team the belief was growing every single day in the season.

"There are a couple of critical, crucial moments in the season for us that gave us the evidence of what we were capable of. Everyone in the building has seen it has been growing every day because of the investment and the effort that the players have been putting in. There has been so much engagement, so much investment, so much belief and intensity. I am so happy for everyone.

"All of the questions we have asked of the players, they got the rewards today and it was so worth it because they have worked extremely hard.

"Of course we are going to reflect and take it all in but I think there is even more in this team so that is almost the scary part of it, that we have achieved something enormous today but there is even more to give in this team. We are going to celebrate tonight and enjoy the moment and then we come back and I am so excited about more with this team."

Arsenal captain Kim Little: "Renee [Slegers] came in as manager earlier in the season. A lot of our blueprint and what we did stayed.

"We adjusted somethings to allow some fluidity and to be more dynamic in how we work.

"Both in our press and how we build.

"The detail and balance they [Arsenal coaches] all have between each other is definitely a well functioning machine.

"Across the board, they allow us to have the right information so that we can go on the pitch and play games like we did today."

Arsenal

Arsenal captain Kim Little: "We spoke a lot about the rotations [of Barcelona] and how best to deal with them.

"We tried some different things during the week that didn't work well. "Tried to play against that with our players and we changed it until we could accept a lot of their runs and movement, but also allow them to mostly play in front of us.

"It was kind of the perfect execution of a gameplan. Which as a footballer is one of the best things."

Arsenal midfielder Mariona Caldentey speaking to DAZN: "We played very well, especially defensively. We suffered a lot because to play against Barcelona and these players is very difficult, but we defended well and played a bit on the counter, which is not our style but we knew that was what would help us to win. It served us well.

"We knew we were going to suffer and that they were going to play a lot, dominate the ball and we were not going to have much of it. We had to make this change of approach against them because they are the best in the world at it, and we defended very well."

On coming into the match as underdogs: "We are a very talented team with a lot of weapons and at the end of the day this is football and anything can happen. For what we achieved in the knockout rounds against Real Madrid, against Lyon, we deserved to be here. At the end of the day it is a 90-minute game, we knew we could do it and we did."

Arsenal

More from Arsenal boss Renee Slegers speaking to TNT Sports:

On how she reacted to the seven minutes of stoppage time: "I was expecting eight minutes because there were a lot of stoppages in the second half and at the end.

"We made a change to a back five, brought in players that could defend the box and they did it ever so well. You need a bit of luck but I think tat luck comes from us doing so well in the different phases of the game and I am so happy and proud of everyone."

On the impact of Blackstenius and Mead: "We knew that decision making was going to be key, for the players on the pitch and us as staff. The whole staff has prepared everything so well with so much detail that and we knew in the moment we had to make the decision from the side line. What to do, what not to do, what to change and what nor to change. The ones on the field, the ones that came in, everyone did so well."

On kicking on in the WSL next season: "We want to keep on building from this. We believe in who we are and what we do and we want to keep on building and keep on going net season. Of course a club like Arsenal wants to win trophies."

Arsenal captain Kim Little: "We knew coming into this game we had to basically be perfect. One of the best teams [Barcelona] in Europe in recent years. It is very special for me.

"I have been at the club a very long time and we have had incredible periods where we have been successful.

"The club won it in 2007. I signed a year after that so to still be at the club after that long period and to see how much it has done to progress the women's game and invest in us as players and as a club.

"It is truly special to be sitting here now off the back of winning the ultimate trophy. Definitely the best moment of my career."

Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Mariona Caldentey speaking to DAZN:

On playing against her former side in such a big game: "Of course I know their game but still as I have said before, 'I know how they play but I don't know how to stop it.' It's impossible.

"Winning the Champions League in my first year that I came here [to Arsenal] is incredible. I am enjoying the moment, missing some things from Spain but also enjoying different things here. But this I still can't believe it.

"There's few things you can say to them in this moment. Of course there is a lot of respect for all of them, a lot of them are my friends, including some of the staff which I worked with for many years. They have always been respectful to me and I to them. Now is the time to celebrate, for them these are difficult moments but they are a great team and they will return to winning ways."

Arsenal

Goalscorer Stina Blackstenius speaking to TNT Sports: "I just can't believe it - all of it. It was such a team performance from the very beginning until the very end and I just can't believe it - we won the Champions League and we get to celebrate it. It hasn't sunk in yet."

On coming off the bench to score: "I'm so happy I could give a goal today. They said I should try to run in behind and try to stretch them but this is once again a big, big team performance. I'm so proud of our journey, how we came here and how we managed the game today."

For Arsenal it has never been in question how good they are as a group of players or individually how good they are, the question has always been the consistency, a little bit the mentality.

We heard Renee Slegers say when she took over, the shift in their mentality and that's what they've needed. They've shown consistency from the takeover and it's something they need to take into next season if they are to really compete with this Chelsea team.

More from ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright speaking to TNT Sports about the goal: "The finish for the actual goal was the one I thought she should have done earlier on as well. She could have had a hat-trick. Stina was the one, she changed it.

"It's great because I was praying for the substitutions because I thought we were getting too penned in and we couldn't get out. As much as Alessia was trying to get it and link the play we didn't have anyone going beyond. Once Stina came on we knew that we could threaten them there then you’ve got a problem - we can stretch them out there."

On what it means to the club: "It has saved the club! The embarrassment of not getting nothing this season, when we've played so well in the season with the men. The ladies have saved the club, we've got something to celebrate.

"Of course they need a parade, they've beaten Barcelona in the Champions League, nobody gave them a chance, even I was saying it's going to be tough - they average four goals a game.

"We needed to score goals to make sure we beat them, in the end it was only one. Everyone wrote them off, they deserve everything they are getting, all the accolades. This is a magnificent achievement, look how far it’s come I remember when the Champions League was at Boreham Wood. Look where we are and Arsenal winning it, it’s amazing."

This has also inspired more fans. At home, if there are new fans or people who've maybe not watched a women's game before you've witnessed this tonight and maybe this group has inspired the next little girl to think she can go and win a Champions League - that's special.

I keep going back to Leah Williamson being a ballgirl, who's going to be that next little girl to lift it? This group have inspired them, it's absolutely brilliant.

Arsenal deserve every ounce of this. There is so many different subplots inside this.

Two years ago in an interview to the BBC, I said: 'an English club was a couple of years away from winning'.

Arsenal have just done it and they have set a precedent.

Nobody will believe the impact that this will have.

Arsenal

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright speaking to TNT Sports: "I can’t believe it. This is the first time I've watched a game where my heart went funny. When we scored I was like ‘oh my god this is happening’. I’m delighted for them, nobody gave us a chance really, especially after the last couple of games we've played.

"I was worried for them with the amount of goals we were conceding. But today Leah, Steph at the back, everybody. I don't want to mention any names because they've all done the job that needed to be done. That’s what was needed against Barcelona.

"The chances, I thought it was going to be one of those games where we create the chances. The Steph chance, even the offside, that could have been easily avoided.

"She went really early and I was thinking we might get punished for this because you have to punish this Barcelona side and in the end I thought they didn't turn up and you have to take advantage of that when they don’t turn up, and beat them."

That quarter-final against Real Madrid, that second leg at the Emirates when they came back in that game there was a difference in confidence, self belief.

All you've heard Little, Russo, Kelly - these players - they spoke about that self-belief within house and that's the most important, they showed that today, their confidence grew throughout the game and their self-belief also grew with that.

Fifteen games to get to a final and win. Just seeing these scenes, seeing the girls, I think they really appreciate what the fans have done for them.

They needed those fans today, through every minute of the game those fans were there, the players stuck together, an incredible achievement.

Fifteen games, unbelievable.
