Arsenal's Kim Little celebrated the "unique" experience of winning the inaugural Champions Cup, while Lotte Wubben-Moy was thrilled to write history.
The Gunners beat Brazilian side Corinthians 3-2 at Emirates Stadium on Sunday to get their hands on the trophy.
It featured four teams, champions of their respective continental competitions: Arsenal, Corinthians, Gotham FC and FAR Rabat.
Caitlin Foord was Arsenal's hero in extra time, as she struck their winner after Vic Albuquerque converted a 96th-minute penalty to force the additional half-an-hour.
Olivia Smith put Arsenal ahead after 15 minutes, but Gabi Zanotti's header restored parity.
Arsenal went back in front through Wubben-Moy, before Katie McCabe's challenge on Gisela Robledo sparked the late drama.
"It's great to get the win," said Arsenal captain Little.
"We showed incredible character and resilience to lose the goal right at the end and come back in extra-time. The girls did great.
"For us, these things happen in football. You have to bounce back. When we came out in extra-time we showed that, we created chances, and Caitlin [Foord] scored a great goal to get the win.
"We've got an incredible squad of players and staff. Credit to everyone for putting in a performance on Wednesday and today to get the win and it feels great to get more silverware for this club.
"It's obviously a unique experience, it being the first Champions Cup. We'll take a lot from winning today and getting a trophy."

Wubben-Moy believes this is a sign of things to come this year for the reigning European champions.
She told Sky Sports: "It's not often that at Arsenal you can write history because history has been written so many times.
"We stand on the shoulders of giants. To come to this inaugural competition and win it and do it with all of our fans here in style – our fans are wonderful and that's who we do it for.
"To win the first silverware this year is a big leap forward. We want more. Stick with us. 2026 has more to come."
Arsenal finished with a whopping 31 shots, for a combined 3.1 expected goals, with the Gunners getting 13 attempts on target and hitting the woodwork in an enthralling contest.
Gotham FC finished third, having beaten Rabat 4-0.
