One of the factors which has made Barcelona's women's team so successful in recent years is their hunger for silverware, knotted with their technical quality and renowned passing game.

So it was no surprise that despite the tears and devastation of their Champions League final defeat by Arsenal on Saturday, they immediately started plotting a course back to next year's final, in Oslo.

The golden confetti ballooning into the air is so often for them.

"Tomorrow we'll get back up and start trying again for next year," pledged one of the team's leaders, Alexia Putellas.

Coach Pere Romeu insisted that desire to win was "in the DNA" of the players and the club.
