Joe Hart feels it is a good time to be a Manchester City player, ahead of his side’s crucial Champions League Round of 16 first leg clash with Dynamo Kyiv on Wednesday.

Manchester City currently find themselves fourth in the Premier League with 47 points from 26 games, six behind leaders Leicester City, with Manuel Pellegirini’s side set to face Liverpool in the League Cup final on Sunday.

“It’s an amazing competition [the Champions League]”, Hart told the club’s official site.
“It’s something we really look forward to as a team. But we’re very lucky that we’re involved in a lot of competitions.
“The majority of the time when it comes to the Champions League we’re still fighting on all fronts, and this is a good time to be a Manchester City player and a good time to be fighting.”
