Joe Hart has come in for a lot of criticism recently, most of it deservedly so, as his performances have taken a dip over the past couple of seasons.

While he did miss out on England's World Cup squad, it shouldn't take away from the fact that Hart was a truly world class keeper for Manchester City.

While City succumbed to a 1-0 defeat and crashed out of the Champions League, it must be said that the match should have and would have been a rout was it not for Hart putting in the performance of a lifetime and arguably, the best of his career.

Hart, consistently being left exposed by his defence and midfield, made seven outstanding saves and kept MSN at bay.

The goal he conceded, a strike from Ivan Rakitic was from a shot he could do nothing about. After the performance, Hart received praise from England rival Jack Butland among others and established that he was truly a world class goalkeeper.
