Chloe Kelly has revealed that she was ready to take a break from football in January.

In a transfer saga, the winger publicly expressed her unhappiness at Man City, eventually moving to her former club Arsenal on loan.

She has rediscovered her form with the Gunners, culminating in a 1-0 win against Barcelona in the Women's Champions League final on Saturday.

It marks a remarkable turnaround for Kelly and her career, as she is out of contract with Man City this summer.

'I'm on cloud nine right now,' she told Sky Sports News. 'I'm so grateful to Arsenal; I was ready to take a break from football in January, and to be here now is incredible.'

'I'm very emotional... Renee Slegers, what a woman.'

'I appreciate these times. This club is a great football club, the players are unbelievable, and this is what the club deserves. Hopefully there'll be more.'

'I'm feeling relaxed about my contract situation. If this is my last game for Arsenal, I'll forever be grateful for what they've done for me in my career. It's hard to put it into words, but I hope for more.'

Reflecting on the game, Kelly added: 'What a battle. Barcelona are a top team, and we knew we had to be comfortable being uncomfortable—that was our motto through the week.'

'We rode the storm, and for Stina to come on and deliver that is outstanding.'
