Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Joe Hart has received a shout-out from Pep Guardiola after Manchester City reached the Champions League final.

The 34-year-old joined Spurs on a free transfer last August, penning a two-year deal in north London.

Hart was previously a regular for City and England, with close to 350 competitive appearances for the Etihad side and 75 Three Lions caps.

Although he ended up being frozen out by Guardiola, the City boss nonetheless credited the veteran keeper for his efforts in getting the club to where they are now.

Following last night’s semi-final victory over PSG, the Spaniard told the club website: “Vincent Kompany, David Silva, Joe Hart, Pablo Zabaleta – many players who help get us in this position now.

“It belongs to them and I am pretty sure they will support us in three weeks.

“I am so proud of the guys. We have done an amazing Champions League and we are there.”

Hart has made 10 appearances for Tottenham, keeping five clean sheets and shipping just eight goals.

Spurs are next in action on Saturday as they face Leeds United away in the Premier League’s early kickoff.
