Manchester City fans have picked up on an unusual detail after John Stones has his shirt ripped during the Champions League final.
Stones had been battling with an Inter Milan defender during a City corner when he was tussled to the ground. The Englishman half appealed for a penalty, pointing towards his shirt that had been ripped all the way up one side.
But instead of agreeing with his case for a spot-kick, fans noticed Stones shaves his armpits. One fan joked: “If there’s one thing we can take from today it’s that as good as John Stones is, he shaves his armpits, so that negates the events of today!”
“John Stones shaves his armpits, give the trophy to Inter,” a second added. While a third tweeted: “It’s confirmed John Stones shaves his armpits and I’m highly disappointed!”

The footballing world was full of praise for Stones after City finally conquered Europe on Saturday evening. Stones was perhaps City’s standout player on the evening as he strut from defence into midfield with the calmness of Frank Beckenbauer.
Speaking about his new role, Stones said: “I did, and still do, love playing as a centre-half and I’ve absolutely loved this role as well.
“I have showed myself that I’m able to do it, maybe showing some attributes I didn’t know I had but the manager has seen in me. Ultimately, I’m just trying to show what I can do in there.”
