Arsenal striker Alessia Russo says the club are "where we want to be" as they prepare to face Barcelona in the Women's Champions League final.
The Gunners are hoping to become European champions for just the second time in the club's history, after winning the title in 2007.
They remain the only English club to achieve success in Europe but face a Barcelona side who have won three of the past four Champions League campaigns in Saturday's final at Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon (17:00 BST).
Asked if it felt right for Arsenal to be back with Europe's elite, England international Russo said: "Yeah, 100%. Any player that plays for Arsenal understands it is a winning club that is so ambitious and wants to be at the top competing with the best.
"Absolutely this is where we want the club to be and what we will keep pushing for as players. We're very aware of what's come before us as well.
"[Arsenal captain] Kim Little has played for the club for so long and she deserves to be here.
"We had lunch with some of the 2007 winners earlier in the week to understand what it means to them and that is really special for us."
