Manchester City need to win the Champions League to take them to next level, proclaims Kyle Walker

Their win over Real Madrid in the Round of 16 has given many City fans hope that this could be their year despite them being pitted against wildcard outfit Olympique Lyon. Yet despite that, fans and critics alike believe that City have the capability to reach all the way to the final and Kyle Walker admitted that winning the trophy would take City to the next level. The full-back confessed that while they’ve won the Premier League a few times, this could make them a European powerhouse.

"I think if you had asked me this two years ago when I signed here, I would have probably said that the Premier League was the big one for me having not won it before I came here. Now I have collected two of them and a number of others and this is the one that I want, and I can probably speak on behalf of the whole squad and Manchester City as well for what they need as a club to put them onto that next pedestal," Walker said, reported ESPN.

"Teams such as PSG and Lyon have not really played much football so hopefully we can use that to our advantage but they have got good players. We have watched a few clips of them and they look a really good team so it is going to be very difficult but we are just going to use the game plan, listen to the tactics from the boss and hopefully that will see us over the line,” he added.
