Gabriel Jesus To Score Anytime

Gabriel Jesus has scored in each of his three UEFA Champions League (UCL) appearances vs Real Madrid and has scored six times in his last three games for Manchester City. 

He's one of only 11 players to score 20+ UCL goals since making his debut in the tournament in 2017 and ranks fourth for minutes per goal of those behind only Erling Haaland, Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema – putting him ahead of the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe.

Manchester City To Score First

City have scored three more goals inside the opening 15 minutes of matches in the league this season than any other team in Europe (17) and a further four inside the opening 15 minutes in the UCL, including two in last week’s reverse fixture.

Joao Cancelo To Be Shown A Card

Only five players in this season's UCL have collected more yellow cards than the three for Joao Cancelo. Of those playing in this match at the Bernabeu, Casemiro, Ferland Mendy and Eder Militao also have three but Cancelo is expected to line up against the electric Brazilian Vinícius Júnior unless Kyle Walker can shake off an ankle injury.
