adminMANCHESTER. — Joe Hart mocked Pep Guardiola as he said an emotional farewell to Manchester City on Wednesday night. Goalkeeper Hart fought back tears as he made what is likely to be his final appearance for the Blues, after being axed as first-choice by new manager Guardiola . The England No.1, made captain for the night, waved to all sections of the Etihad Stadium at the final whistle in a clear gesture that he is off after a decade at the club. And he could not resist a dig at Guardiola’s decision to ditch him because of a perceived weakness in his distribution with his feet.Told he had a 100 per cent pass completion rate in the 1-0 win over Steaua Bucharest that secured a place in yesterday’s Champions League group phase draw, Hart said: “Wow! Pigs do fly, don’t they?
“We all know there’s a situation going on, but I feel that inside and outside of all the circus we’re handling it well as a good team with a good management staff. I enjoyed tonight.” — The Mirror.
