Kyle Walker believes Manchester City now owe it to themselves to win the Champions League.
The full-back sees it as the club’s next challenge after sweeping almost all before them to win five trophies over the past two seasons, including back-to-back Premier League titles.
“I’ve said before that for City to be where they want to be, I think they need to win the Champions League,” he said.
The inspirational Kompany won 10 trophies during his glittering City career but Europe’s top prize eluded him.
Walker said: “For Vinny this place obviously had a special place in his heart and for us we need to go and try to listen to him – as always – and go and get the Champions League, what he wanted.”
Walker, a strong presence for City in attack and defence, intends to carry on playing a key role for City for years to come.
“I’m 29 and I still feel young and fit,” he said. “I’m still wanting to learn as well. I feel there is still definitely a good three or four more years in me where I can still move.
“There are still things to improve on on the pitch but I do work hard, I can assure you of that. I try to be the best I can in each and every game.”
