John Stones voiced his frustration after Manchester City's unfortunate loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Despite leading 2-1 through Erling Haaland's penalty, City conceded two late goals, resulting in a stunning reversal. Stones described feelings of anger at the collapse, emphasizing the need for players to take accountability for the team's shortcomings. Manager Pep Guardiola echoed this sentiment, urging responsibility for poor decisions and the importance of securing leads. As they face potential failure to progress, Stones remains hopeful yet acknowledges the current difficulty of maintaining a positive outlook.
"I don't know how to put it into words straight away, it's so raw and frustrating for everyone. We were in the game until so late... It's a feeling of anger and frustration."
"It's just bad decisions, that's all. Everyone has to take accountability. I take it. It's not about you and me, it's everyone."
'We need to see games out better. The manager said we need to take accountability for what we do on the pitch... As the manager says we need to look at ourselves and take accountability.'
