Pablo Zabaleta insists Manchester City's players are hurting after losing the Premier League title to Chelsea.

City meet QPR later today.

Zabaleta said: "At the beginning of the season, we were talking about trying to win trophies.

"When you look at the players we have in the squad and the ambitions of the club, they are really big.

"But at the end of the season we have no Premier League trophy. It is hard to understand and accept that because we know the players we are."
