It would be easy to talk about the emotion of this FA Cup final. Taking place on the 100-year anniversary of the ban on the women's game, there were several poignant moments at Wembley.
But this sport has come too far for cliches. Of course it is important to recognise the past, but what we should focus on most of all is the football, the brilliance of Sam Kerr and Fran Kirby and the success of Chelsea boss Emma Hayes, who now has 11 trophies to her name.
Hayes' side were beaten by Arsenal on the opening day of the Women's Super League season but they were better in every department today and this trophy secures the Blues a treble for the 2020-2021 season, due to the final being delayed by Covid-19.

The only disappointment is that this did not break the record attendance for a women's FA Cup final. Over 47,000 tickets were issued by the FA but only 40,942 showed up.
This is an ongoing battle for the governors of women's football and their ambitious aim to sell-out a final in the next three years does still seem some way off.
Women's football is still paying the price for the FA's 50-year ban and, which was recognised before kick-off when the two captains from the first final back in 1971 brought out the trophy before kick-off.
Elsie Cook, who led out Scottish side Stewarton Thistle that day, was in tears as she came out onto the pitch.
And she was not the only who felt the emotion of this day as Kirby looked overcome after opening the scoring in the third minute.
In November 2019 the England striker was diagnosed with pericarditis, a rare condition that is caused by fluid and inflammation of the sac that protects the heart.

The illness left her barely able to walk and kept her out of the game for eight months and the 28-year-old came close to early retirement. How lucky we are that she is still playing.
Kirby was able to open the scoring following some wayward Arsenal passing inside their own half. Frida Maanum could only divert the ball into the path of Kerr after intercepting Jessie Fleming's pass.
Kerr's ball to Kirby then hit the Arsenal midfielder and fell kindly for Kirby, who kept her composure to fire into the bottom left corner past Manuela Zinsberger.
