Gabriel Jesus admits he was left in tears and told his mother he wanted to quit Manchester City after Pep Guardiola picked Oleksandr Zinchenko ahead of him.
The Brazilian has since left the Etihad and joined Arsenal, who finished second to his former side last term. Jesus spent six years at City, but was in and out of the starting XI, often playing second fiddle to Sergio Aguero who continued to command the No 9 spot.
Jesus' emotions peaked one European night against fellow heavyweights PSG when he was overlooked. Had it been for a fellow attacker he may have been able to stomach it, but Guardiola made the unconventional decision to play Zinchenko, normally a defender, in an attacking role despite there being no indication of the tactical tweak.
