Man City's Hart can't wait for Spain challenge

England goalkeeper Joe Hart is eagerly anticipating this weekend's meeting with World Champions Spain.

The Manchester City gloveman and his Three Lions teammates take on the Spaniards in an international friendly at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and he cannot wait to take on the best in the world although admits that the English will not be treating them as such.

"They're not light years ahead and we're not going to go in in awe of them, because they're a team that we're playing against," said Hart.

"We've got some fantastic players and so have they so it makes for a really interesting game.

"I've been around this England squad for a while now, and seen some adverse situations. International football's not always about playing the top three in the world - it's about going to some of the tougher places around Europe and playing real tough games.

"This is a test, playing against the best, and we'll see what we've got."
