Gabriel Jesus urges Manchester City to bounce back against Liverpool after losing 'two most important games of the season': 'We are sad and annoyed'

Gabriel Jesus is desperate for Manchester City to bounce back when they face Liverpool in their crunch Champions League quarter-final second leg on Tuesday.

City have suffered heartbreaking back-to-back defeats over the past week, which have dampened an otherwise superb season.

The first of those defeats was a 3-0 thrashing by the Reds in last week's first leg, before Pep Guardiola's men endured an embarrassing capitulation against arch rivals Manchester United — throwing away a two-goal lead to lose 3-2.
