Manchester City midfielder Kyle Walker talks about winning the Champions League.

Manchester City are already looking forward to a possible treble after clinching the league title following Arsenal's loss to Nottingham Forest. 

Midfielder Kalvin Phillips was speaking after the 1-0 victory over Chelsea, and he admitted that the Champions League is their priority, and although they are happy with winning the Premier League, the Champions League tops their list.

What Phillips said 

Although the England international has been used sparingly this season, he was part of the league celebrations at the Etihad today after he started in the victory against Frank Lampard's side. 

The former Leeds midfielder was happy about winning the Premier League, noting that it is his first, compared to the multiple titles won by a number of players in the City squad.

But he admits the Champions League is the ultimate goal, saying it tops their list and is the most coveted by the City squad. 

"It's an amazing feeling [winning the league]," Phillips said, per the BBC.

"Everybody has supported me through a tough season and we've got there in the end. Everyone around the club is amazing and that's why we've won the league.

"The celebrations that we've had tonight will be in my mind forever and will push me on for next season. I haven't dreamt of it [winning the treble].

"Now we can turn our attention to the next trophy. Everyone wants the Champions League, it's the one at the top of the list and the one the lads speak about it the most.

"Some of the lads here have won five Premier League titles but this is my first."
