What's the story? Well, the 33-year-old was discussing the heartbreak he felt after England lost the EURO 2020 final to Italy at Wembley.

Walker mentioned how much that defeat hurt, but added that he and his teammates at Manchester City actually used the pain of losing to Chelsea in the 2021 UEFA Champions League final to win the treble last season.

The England international said: "It was a bit devastating, but I feel - just as like at club level - I went to Porto and lost against Chelsea, and then two years later I've gone and done the treble.

"So, I feel that people and teams evolve from that.

I think you learn from that, occasions where you've been in finals and lose finals and you go on to achieve something great.

"Kyle Walker comments show why Manchester City need experience In our view, this comment shows exactly why Manchester City decided to hand Walker a new contract.

Even if the Sheffield-born defender no longer had the quality to start for Manchester City, which he still most certainly does, it is this mentality which often proves vital for top sides.

Every ambitious club needs players like Walker who have experienced heartache in huge games, and hold a burning desire to put things right - money cannot buy that.

That is why keeping experienced winners like Walker and Kevin De Bruyne around is so important - even when they may start to decline physically as footballers.
