John Stones admits he enjoyed his midfield role in Manchester City's Champions League final triumph against Inter Milan.

Rodri struck the second-half winner, though City still had to survive Fede Dimarco hitting the crossbar and Romelu Lukaku being denied late on by goalkeeper Ederson.

Stones said, "It was the thing we were missing. I feel so pleased. It's a pleasure to be a part of this team and create this history.

"We're only the second team to do the Treble. Both are so special in their own rights in different eras. I'm holding words back because I'm on camera, put it that way.

"We've set the bar high now. After this season, from where we were in the Premier League, to bring it back, win the FA Cup then come here and win this, I can't put it into words.

"I played more like a No. 8 today which I loved. I'm still learning. I don't think I'm the best there but I gave it my all. I thought it paid off. We created chances and there were key moments. Ederson saved that one at the end. Now we can have a good chat about us actually winning this."
