Manchester City defender Kyle Walker admits they "rode our luck" to win the UEFA Super Cup in Athens on Wednesday night.

Cole Palmer canceled out Sevilla's established by Youssef En-Nesyri before the game was taken to spotkicks. After the first nine penalties were converted Sevilla defender Nemanja Gudelj drilled his kick against the crossbar to give City victory.

Walker later said, "It was always going to be a tough game. The lads put in a good performance. We have to be more clinical but we got the job done.

"If anyone played with me they know I don't like taking penalties because I don't like letting people down if I miss. Pep put me in at five. [I wanted to] show leadership. Luckily it went in and was the winning one."

On Palmer, he continued: "This guy is incredible and he's got good players to learn off and the best manager in the world. He needs to keep going, keep his feet on the floor like he has been and keep scoring goals. If he keeps improving he'll be fine.

"Good teams capitalise on people's mistakes. We rode our luck and we got there. There were tough conditions, everyone sweating, you can see it's really hot.

"We've come away with this cup. To win this and put it in trophy cabinet at City is a good feeling."
