Manchester City star Kyle Walker is eyeing more history with his team as they face Manchester United in the 2023/24 FA Cup final.
Having won the Premier League title for a fourth consecutive season, Manchester City want to create further history by becoming the first side to do the ‘double Double’.
No side in English football has ever won the league and FA Cup back-to-back but Walker believes Manchester City has what it takes to do the unbelievable.
“The motivation speaks for itself,” said Walker. “To be the first team to do the double Double, 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 we need to knock down.
“But it’s against our rivals who live in the same city and who 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 a 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 now to put the icing on the cake for the season.
“Last season they could have rained on our parade before we went to the Champions League final. If we’d lost that game, the mood and morale to pick ourselves up again and go to the Champions League final would have been completely different.
“It’s a trophy against your arch rivals, it’s a derby and it’s going to be big because it’s Manchester United and we could be the first team to do the double Double.”
Manchester City have been unstoppable under Pep Guardiola. The citizens have won 15 major trophies with Walker playing an important role.
