The 31-year-old recently announced that he will be leaving Man City at the end of the season after ten years at the club.
Stones has struggled with various injury issues this season and was an unused substitute in City’s FA Cup final win over Chelsea.
Speaking to BBC One after the game, he admitted it was “hard to take” not being involved in what would have been his last final for the club.
"I wanted to be involved in the game. As a player it's hard to take, especially when a lot of us played the semi-final. It's part of adapting and getting behind the team," he said.
“It wasn't the best game today in terms of chances or how we actually played in the first half but to stick in there and fight like we did is incredible.
“I think after the game, the atmosphere and the love that was shown for me personally, and to lift the trophy - which I didn't really want to do with Bernardo - it was a nice touch.
"I can't put it into words. I said it before but I never would have believed or thought 10 years ago that this would be happening, I would have a song and be so loved, it's so overwhelming. It's really special.
"It's been a difficult season. I think the first half of the season I played quite a lot of games and was involved but I picked up a little injury in December and been back since then...it's football. I haven't got the answers really for why (I haven't played)."
