Google Play Services not working after lollipop update

Hi, I just recently updated my Xperia Z to lollipop and the first thing I encountered was that my google play services isn't working anymore. Therefore, I can't sign in on any of my google services in my phone, chrome, youtube, play store, etc.

I already tried clearing cahce and clearing the data from the app settings. and it still doesn't work. I'm on my rope's end here. I don't know if its sony or lollipop that's broken.

Google Paly services will update in the background, and it may take up to a few hours to get updated. You can always download the latest version of Google Play Services by searching it on APKMirror site, you'll need to activate "Unknown Sources" option in Settings -> Security.
