Share this contentLONDON: The performance of Gabriel Jesus in Manchester City's 2-1 Champions League victory over 13-times winners Real Madrid has given manager Pep Guardiola great heart as he seeks to end the club's quest for the coveted crown.
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. Guardiola, though, feels that Jesus's performances has given an extra pep in the team's step after a disappointing defence of their Premier League title.He believes with the confidence gained by Jesus in getting the better of the Spanish giants this can be a launching pad to at last triumph in a competition they have failed to shine in in the past despite the enormous investment by the Abu Dhabi owners.
The City manager is also emboldened ahead of the Lisbon trip with the assured display at the back - so often this season seen as thir Achilles heel.
