Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart accuses his teammates of letting themselves down during this season's Champions League campaign.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has accused his teammates of letting themselves down during this season's Champions League campaign.

The Citizens were eliminated from Europe tonight after losing 1-0 at Borussia Dortmund and finishing bottom of Group D.

"Was it the same old story? Yes. I don't know why," said Hart. "I'd love to answer it. We need to address it though.

"The intensity was there but once they scored it disappeared, which is a shame as we have showed we are a side that can come from behind. Of course we have let ourselves down, because we haven't even got in the Europa League.

"There was a hunger to win tonight and if that meant Europa League than great. But we have got bigger issues than that. We were up against a weakened team and we had to win. We should be fighting to go through to the last 16 on the last day and we have only got ourselves to blame that we are not."

City were also eliminated from the Champions League at the same stage last season.
