Manchester City 0-0 Real Madrid: Five Talking Points

4. City have Hart to thank for the draw

Manchester City custodian Joe Hart has time and again bailed his side out of sticky situations in the past, and had it not been for his heroics in between the sticks again today, Real Madrid would have surely left with an away goal or two.

The England international denied Pepe was point-blank range midway in the second-half when the Portuguese could have broken the deadlock, and also made a key save later on when Casemiro tried his luck with a headed effort.

Hart was irrefutably the best City player on the field, and all thanks to him, the Premier League outfit travel to the Spanish capital next week with all to play for.
