Kyle Walker says winning the Champions League is imperative to put Manchester City on the “next pedestal. “(More news)
A 2–1 home win over Real Madrid last week helped City succeed in the quarter-finals of Europe’s first club festival with a 4-2 overall win in its last 16 games.
Nationally, it has been a decade of trophies for City, which has won the Premier League 4 times, the FA Cup twice and the EFL Cup times since 2011.
The Champions League, however, proved to be an esquivo trophy, with a race to the semi-finals in the 2015–16 top season they have achieved.

English full-back Walker, who joined Tottenham before the 2017-18 campaign, admits that his own ambitions have superseded and believes that winning the Champions League will bring City to the level.
“I think if I had had that consultation two years ago when I signed here, I probably would have said that the Premier League is the first for me not to have won it before,” he said.
“Now I’ve put two and several more in combination and that’s the one I want, and I can speak for the whole team and also for Manchester City so they want as a club to put them on the next pedestal. . “
City’s last assembly with Lyon is played in Lisbon as a play-out match with UEFA converting the format of the festival due to the delay due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Walker acknowledges the other cases but insists that the City will give up its approach.
“It’s an exclusive scenario we’re in, but I think we only have to attack it when we attack every single game, whether in the Premier League, in the cups or in the Champions League,” he added.
“We believe that our team as a whole, the way we play and our philosophy will take us where we need to be in the tournament, which is the final. “
City’s loss to Madrid, the La Liga champion, means he starts as a favourite, but Lyon took four editions from Pep Guardiola’s Champions League team last season and beat Serie A winner Juventus to triumph at this stage.
Walker says such facts turn out that Lyon is not a team to take lightly.
“I think he says it all. This year they don’t have the players they had when we played against them, but you have to be a very smart, highly disciplined team to beat Juventus in two rounds,” he said.
“We’ll just use the game plan, pay attention to the boss’ tactics, and that’ll allow us to cross the line.
“I think it can turn our way in the sense that it’s on one leg and we can attack the game and play each and every game as a final. “
