Manchester City’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international also feels that the team has gone on to let themselves down in Europe and that they have no one to blame
but themselves.
For two seasons, City have been knocked out of the Champions League in the group stages, as the team has failed to finish in the top two spot in their group.
Last season, the team went on to pick up ten points from their group, but this time around they failed to win a single game and picked up only three points along the way.
In fact, their performance was so bad, that they didn’t even manage to secure a Europa League spot for themselves.
Hart, when expressing himself after the game is reported to have said: "Yeah, of course we have. We're out of Europe, we're not even in the Europa League so that's fair to say.”
"There was a hunger to win, like I say we've let ourselves down in this tournament but there was a hunger to win.”
"If that meant the Europa League then great, but we've got bigger issues that that, we need to be winning playing [against] a weakened team tonight.”
"Congratulations to Borussia and Real Madrid I thought they were fantastic, but we should be fighting, definitely fighting last day to be in the competition and we weren't."
He then went on to further elaborate and explain that it is the team’s fault that they found themselves in no position to make it to the next round of the contest and that at the end of the day, they could blame no one else.
He added: "We should have been in that position [to qualify] and we weren't, we only have ourselves to blame, that's it.”
At the moment the only positive working for City is the fact that they can now focus on domestic games, and that they won’t have tired players in for the rest of their games this season.
Nonetheless, it is now a wait to see just how City bounce back after crashing out of Europe, given their next game is against arch rivals, Manchester United.
