'This club means so much to me'

Man City defender Kyle Walker said: "I'm over the moon. I'm rarely speechless. My dream has come true, to achieve this with this club. To achieve a Treble is unbelievable.


"I'm always going to be disappointed when I'm not playing but I'm 33. My example sets to the younger lads. I made a speech before they went out. This club means so much to me. To experience what I've experienced, I'm forever in debt.


"I said my dream is in your hands. No pressure. You can't say Inter deserved it more than we did or we deserved it more than they did. We're both here by merit. There has to be a loser.


"Emotions played a part. The occasion is obviously going to get to you. I got a silver one last time so to get a gold one is fantastic."
