Messi, Iniesta, others hail phenomenal Joe Hart

Manchester City goalkeeper’s magnificent performance against Barcelona last night is one that would never be forgotten in a hurry. Infact, it is still a trending topic in sports circles.

Unarguably the man of the match, but for his decisive saves, Barcelona would have increased the scoreline and humiliated the English Champions. His 10 decisive saves are the most for any goalkeeper in a Champions League match this season. Unfortunately his heroics couldn’t see his team through as they crashed out of the Champions League last night.

Barcelona stars and coach, Messi, Iniesta took to the club’s website to hail his outstanding performance.

“He was phenomenal, he stopped everything. We have to congratulate him on a great game because he’s a fantastic goalkeeper.” Messi said.

Andres Iniesta added: “Hart was key to keeping them in it and was great in one-on-one situations. Outstanding.”

“The score could have been a rout. Hart was incredible but we weren’t really on towards the end. We had a lot of chances, which is not normal in this type of game. We deserved to win by a bigger goal difference.” Barcelona coach, Luis Enrique affirmed.
Former English player and sports broadcaster, GaryLineker opined that, “But for a truly astonishing display of goalkeeping from Joe Hart, our Premier League champions would be going home humiliated.”

Wayne Rooney now third-highest goalscorer for England.

Who says he’s not yet qualified to be an England great? English footballer, Wayne Rooney has become the third highest goalscorer for England. He created the record after netting a brace during England’s game with Scotland yesterday.
The Manchester United star who scored his 45th and 46th international goals on his 101st appearance is now beyond Jimmy Greaves who scored a total of 44 goals for England. He’s now looking to surpass Gary Lineker and Sir Bobby Charlton’s records.
