Manchester City’s quest for dominance shows no signs of slowing down as captain Kyle Walker boldly sets his sights on a fifth consecutive Premier League title.
With the 2024-25 season just around the corner, Walker’s confidence is palpable, reflecting the mindset of a team that has redefined success in English football.
As City prepare to kick off their title defence against Chelsea on Sunday, Walker’s message is clear: this team is hungry for more. “We've done this now four times in a row—this is our trophy to lose,” Walker asserted during an appearance on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. For him, the gold badge that symbolises their recent success is not just an emblem of past glory, but a motivation to keep pushing boundaries.
The notion of winning five Premier League titles in a row might seem daunting to most, but for Walker and his teammates, it’s a challenge they are eager to embrace. “Why can't we go and do five in a row?” he asked, pointing out that achieving such a feat would likely set a record that might never be broken. This ambition is what drives the team, even after a season that saw them claim the Treble, as well as the Super Cup and Club World Cup.
Pep Guardiola’s relentless pursuit of perfection is at the heart of City’s sustained excellence. Walker highlighted how Guardiola’s influence keeps the team on its toes.
The manager’s demand for nothing less than total commitment ensures that every player is constantly striving to improve. “Guardiola expects instant success—if you don’t have the drive, he won’t keep you around,” Walker noted.
For City, the challenge isn’t just about maintaining their winning ways, but about pushing the limits of what’s possible.
As they head into the 2024-25 season, Walker’s words serve as a rallying cry. This is a team that knows what it takes to win, and they’re ready to do it again. The question isn’t whether they can make history, but whether anyone can stop them.
