Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is looking forward to a first Champions League campaign.
City's seeding means Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan are among those who lie in wait. And Hart is relishing the test.
"I can't wait to find out how much the Champions League will improve me," he said.
"Getting it nailed on as well, rather than going into the qualifiers, is great.
"We can really prepare for it properly now.
"It will be a big test for us. It really is big boys' football."
