Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus celebrates his team's second goal during the pre-quarter-final second leg match of the UEFA Champions League at the Etihad Stadium on Friday.

The performance of Gabriel Jesus in Manchester City's 2-1 Champions League victory over 13-time
winners Real Madrid has given manager Pep Guardiola great heart as he seeks to end the club's quest for the coveted crown. The Brazilian made light of the absence of talismanic striker Sergio Aguero and followed up his impressive display in the Last 16 first leg win by the same scoreline in Madrid with a match-winning contribution at the Etihad on Friday night.

Guardiola's side face Lyon next Saturday in Lisbon in a one-off quarter-final after the French side eliminated Juventus. City with all their firepower might be seen as favourites, but recent history suggests otherwise with Lyon having beaten them 2-1 in Manchester and then drawn 2-2 at home in last season's  group stage.  The club's record goalscorer Aguero, who was an unused substitute in the first leg back in February, is undergoing treatment for a knee injury in Barcelona.
