Joe Hart believes Manchester City have set up a grandstand finish for the Champions League semi-finals.

The Premier League club played out a 0-0 draw with a Cristiano Ronaldo-less Real Madrid in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night and according to goalkeeper Hart, next week's return bout in Spain is likely to be a fascinating affair.

"We've set it up for a good, old-fashioned rumble at the Bernabeu," Hart said.

"We are not disappointed with the result.

"Bring it on. We are ready.

"We have a brilliant squad who are coming to fruition.

"Big game next week, simple as."

Hart made a couple of key late saves to deny Casemiro and Pepe before Kevin De Bruyne forced Keylor Navas to tip over the bar in injury-time at the other end as it remained scoreless in Manchester, setting up a tantalising second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu next Wednesday.
