City Cabinet Full of Trophies, But Walker Craves International Glory: Euros or Bust for England Captain
Manchester City captain Kyle Walker boasts a trophy cabinet overflowing with silverware. League titles, Cups, European glory – he’s seen it all at club level. But there’s one missing piece: international success with England.
This Sunday’s Euro 2024 final against Spain offers a chance to rewrite history. And Walker is prepared to make a shocking sacrifice: he’d trade “quite happily” a significant chunk of his City medals for that coveted Euro trophy.
“Not all the trophies, maybe one of each from City,” Walker clarifies [TalkSPORT]. He understands the City legacy, but England’s national glory holds a different weight.
The 34-year-old veteran has battled back from setbacks to reclaim his starting spot for England. He even earned the captain’s armband and led City to a historic treble last season. But nothing compares to hoisting a trophy for his country.
Walker’s dedication extends beyond the pitch. He revealed that some England players who didn’t make the final cut, like his City teammate Jack Grealish, might be flying out to Berlin to support the team.
“It shows great credit to them,” says Walker. “They understand that being part of the squad goes beyond just being on the pitch.” This gesture highlights the strong team spirit within the England camp.
Grealish and his fellow supporters might be celebrating deep into the night if England emerges victorious. One thing’s for sure: Walker’s hunger for international glory is undeniable. Will he lead England to their first major title in 58 years, or will the trophy cabinet at the City Football Academy remain the sole witness to his success?
