REUTERS: Manchester City will have to win the Champions League to identify themselves as European powers, defence Kyle Walker said.

Pep Guardiola’s appearance has eliminated Real Madrid thirteen times in the last 16 games and is a firm favourite ahead of Saturday’s quarter-final match against Olympique Lyonnais.

“I think if I’d been asked two years ago when I signed here, I probably would have said the Premier League is the first to not have won it before,” Walker told the club’s online page on Thursday.

“Now I put the combination two and several more and that’s the one I want. I can speak for the whole team and for Manchester City so they want to put them on the next pedestal.”

The 30-year-old English national has warned of his appearance to forget about Lyon, which is overflowing with confidence after knocking out Serie A champion Juventus in the last round.

“Lyon has players. Knocking out Juventus says it all. You have to be a very, very disciplined team to beat Juventus in two matches,” he added.
