Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart isn't getting carried away with praise from Lionel Messi. Messi described Hart as a "phenomenon" after his performance in their Champions League defeat at Barcelona last week.

"I would like to see how he worded it," said Hart. "I'm pretty sure it wasn't quite as simply as that. He was obviously asked about the game and he has to make comments so I am not going to get too carried away with it. He is a fantastic player and for him to comment on me is great but I'm not getting carried away.

"I have always been aware that for all the good stuff, I could be the worst keeper in the world again in one game's time. I don't get too wrapped up in good stuff or bad stuff. I just focus on my game and keep working hard."
