Pep Guardiola’s side claimed a historic fourth championship in four seasons by beating West Ham on the season’s final day. This followed last term’s treble and City will become the first English club to achieve the double Double if they beat Manchester United in Saturday’s FA Cup final. Walker was asked about the prospect of defending the Premier League title next season.“Why can’t we do five in a row?” he said.
Walker sees no break in City’s relentless pursuit of trophies. “It’s a machine, a well-oiled machine, and he is the driving force,” he said. “It comes from the manager. He pushes you every day and I can assure you what he is like on a match day he is like every day in training. He doesn’t put it on for documentaries or anything; that’s him and it breeds into you.
No inspiration is required for the Cup final. “The motivation speaks for itself,” Walker said. “To be the first team to do… the first team to win four in a row, the first team since Manchester United to do the treble: we keep knocking down these hurdles and this is another that we need to knock down.
“But it’s against our rivals who live in the same city and are going to want to rain on our parade. We need to make sure that we play the game we have been playing, particularly to the back end of this season. To go on the run that we went on when Arsenal were as they were is great credit to us and shows the enthusiasm and the work ethic is still there.“We’re still coming into training now and wanting to graft and work hard to put the icing on the cake for the season.
