John Stones has revealed the summer of 2021 after Manchester City lost the Champions League final and England lost the European Championships was the most difficult moment of his career.
The Blues' star man featured for both teams as City and the Three Lions both fell at the final hurdles. In May, Kai Havertz sunk Pep Guardiola's side in Porto as Chelsea reached the pinnacle in Europe.
Less than two months later, a penalty shootout defeat to Italy denied England winning their first major trophy since 1966. When asked what it would mean to win the Euros in 2024, Stones admitted he still looks back at the summer of 2021 with bad memories.
