Ilkay Gundogan gives verdict on electric Man City form and outlines Champions League demand

Ilkay Gundogan is averaging a goal or assist every 64 minutes in his last six appearances, with three trophy-defining braces at a key period of the season.

His goals in the games against Leeds and Everton proved enough to get over the line in the Premier League, and his assist for Kevin De Bruyne at the Bernabeu allowed City to take a draw back to the Etihad, where they demolished Real Madrid to book a Champions League final spot.

Then, in an historic Manchester derby at Wembley in the FA Cup final, Gundogan scored two lovely volleys to secure a domestic cup double 12 months on from his title heroics against Aston Villa. Despite his electric form, though, Gundogan insists he's played better in his career - and can play even better now.
