Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus has heaped praise on his teammate Kevin De Bruyne.

City are preparing for a UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg tie with Real Madrid.

And De Bruyne has been the subject of much talk among pundits, as some believe he was the best player in the Premier League this season.

Jesus thinks De Bruyne could have gotten as many as 30 assists this season if his teammates had finished the chances he created.

"I think every game he can make three or four assists for us," Jesus told the club's website.

"This season we miss a lot of goals, if not Kevin would have 30 assists. He is so good.

"He has so much quality and he always looks to the strikers.

"It is so good playing with him."
