"It's so cruel and painful." Stones was lost for words after defeat to Real

Conceding two goals from the 86th minute onward and losing the match is a devastating blow for any footballer. At the Champions League level, and against Real Madrid no less, the sting is even greater. Manchester City defender John Stones felt the full force of that disappointment.

Details: As the City defender explained, suffering such a defeat was particularly painful for a defensive-minded player like him, especially since the team never switched off for a moment.

Quote: "I don't know how to put it into words, it's so cruel and painful for everyone. We were in the game until the very end, and then two moments happened, and we conceded. As a defender, it's frustrating to leave the pitch with this result. It's a feeling of anger and disappointment," Goal quotes Stones as saying.

Reminder: After the match, pundit Jamie Carragher suggested that Manchester City should consider signing a new goalkeeper.
