Many players have shone under Pep Guardiola's leadership at Manchester City, but Gabriel Jesus is unlikely to make it onto that list.

The Brazilian, who represented the "Cityzens" for 5 years and scored 58 goals, moved to Arsenal last year, where he showed his true colors.

The 26-year-old forward told ESPN about the moment he realized he wanted to leave the ranks of the English champions.

"Pep chose to sub in a full-back, Zinchenko, in a false striker position, when he could have put me in. I was so disappointed, I couldn't even eat.

I called my mom, cried, wanted to leave the team. It was hard to improve under Pep. At that moment, I decided I didn't want to stay in the team," G. Jesus spoke openly.

It was a game before PSG in the Champions League.
