Joe Hart aims dig at Pep Guardiola by joking that 'pigs do fly' after 100% pass completion rate during Manchester City win

Joe Hart couldn't resist a parting dig at Pep Guardiola after saying an emotional farewell to Manchester City fans on what was almost certainly his final appearance for the club.

Hart was in tears as City supporters chanted his name and cheered every touch in a 1-0 victory against Steaua Bucharest to confirm their place in the Champions League group stages.

The England goalkeeper will now try to find a new team in the final week of the transfer window with Guardiola turning to new £17million signing Claudio Bravo from Barcelona.
