Joe Hart: 'Barcelona tie far from over'

Joe Hart says that Manchester City can still reach the last eight of the Champions League despite suffering a 2-1 first-leg defeat to Barcelona at the Etihad.

Joe Hart is confident that Manchester City can overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit and beat Barcelona at Camp Nou to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Two first-half away goals from Luis Suarez tonight put the visitors in control of the last-16 tie before Sergio Aguero reduced the arrears on 69 minutes.

City's comeback bid was halted when Gael Clichy picked up a second yellow card five minutes later, but Hart saved an injury-time penalty from Lionel Messi to give the Sky Blues a lifeline in Catalunya.

"The occasion didn't get to us, we know what we are about, but sometimes games don't go for you and maybe that was the case first half," he told ITV Sport.

"The performance in the second half was fantastic. I hope that is worth something. We were good for our goal and maybe good for a result tonight, but we will go to Barcelona for the second leg with a great group of fans and belief. We will have a right go.

"As the manager kept telling us, it was only the first half of the game. As bad as the result is, 2-1 at home, we go there and we have got belief."

Manuel Pellegrini's side travel to Spain for the return leg on March 18.
