UK Back Pages: Joe Hart Plays the Hero Role for Manchester City with Late Save
Manchester City vs. Real Madrid hardly turned out to be the thrilling up-and-down UEFA Champions League tie most expected, with both sides possessing no shortage of firepower.
Instead, it was shot-stopper Joe Hart playing the hero role, making a miraculous save to deny a near-point-blank effort from Pepe late on in the match.
That's the line out of Star Sport, where he's dubbed a "Hart Stopper." The paper also reports on Dele Alli's FA charge, which is likely to end the young Tottenham star's season.
