Initially, he was defeated in the UEFA Champions League final against Chelsea with Man City, followed by a loss in the Euro 2020 final against Italy after a dramatic penalty shootout at Wembley.<\/p>\n<p>Stones, 29, reflected on the two most devastating losses of his career, stating that he made a promise to himself to never endure such a situation again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the Euros final was a difficult, really difficult, point for me,\u201d Stones confessed. \u201cLosing a Champions League final and losing that, was difficult to take.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter that, I said to myself that I never wanted to have that feeling again. It is possible that it might (happen again) but my mindset is to make some history and make one of my dreams come true \u2014 get some silverware with England.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Starting his career as a centre-back, Stones evolved his game and transitioned into a defensive midfielder under the guidance of Pep Guardiola at Man City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a great journey, a difficult journey at times. We started at a difficult point where the perception towards the national team wasn\u2019t great going into tournaments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all wanted to change that, we wanted everyone to be proud of us when we go into tournaments. We did that, I believe, in 2018. And it\u2019s grown since then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel now it\u2019s time for us to go past that step and get something. There\u2019s an environment that\u2019s been created here that is special. We need to capitalise on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following their 1966 World Cup victory, England\u2019s closest brush with international triumph was in 2021 when they reached the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/12\/euro-2024-draw-unveils-exciting-group-stage-matchups\/\">Euro<\/a> 2020 final against Italy and were defeated.<\/p>\n<p>With a highly skilled and well-rounded squad featuring stars like Jude Bellingham, Jack Grealish, James Maddison, Trent-Alexander Arnold, and others, England, under the leadership of Gareth Southgate, are considered one of the top contenders to claim the coveted title.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Euro 2024 team base camps revealed: From Adidas HQ to 800-year-old monastery<\/h5>\n<p>Euro 2024 team base camps have been revealed in Germany.
