Joe Hart is relishing the Blues’ chance of securing top spot in UEFA Cup Group A tonight as Paris Saint-Germain come to town.

City booked their place in the last 32 of the competition last week after an impressive 2-0 win in Germany against Schalke and Hart is keen to stay in the tournament for as long as possible.

He said: “I think we’ve got a great chance of going forward in Europe and it’s exciting for the Club.

“I think it’s a great thing to stay in Europe too because it presents some good situations as well trips for the lads and the supporters. It brings us all closer together.”

And the 21-year-old stopper is hopeful that the European feel good factor will carry the Blues over into their next run of games.

“Looking at the games ahead of us, there’s some we feel are winnable, but I’m sure the teams we’re facing will feel the same,” Joe added.

“It’s an open league with ups and downs and three points can take you all sorts of places but a loss can drop you down as well. We’re looking at every game positively.

“We’ve played all the so-called ‘big teams’ in the league now and not looked outclassed by any of them so we need to just move forward and win our games over this next period.”
