Man City star Walker says current England crop 'set the bar' for future generations

Kyle Walker says the current England crop has "set the bar" for future generations.

The Three Lions have reached the Euro 2020 final, which is only their second ever major tournament final.

"I think when you put on an England shirt, definitely in the past four years, it means something now," Walker said.

"It means something, we have created history. I have heard a lot of people talking about how England haven't won a knockout game, England haven't won a penalty shoot-out, England haven't got this, England haven't got that.

"This group of lads, with the manger and the coaching staff, we just keep knocking them down and hopefully we have set the bar now for the future youngsters that are coming through - this is what our country wants and expects of us."
