City will go on to face Lyon in Lisbon.

Pep Guardiola hailed Gabriel Jesus for delivering on the biggest stage as Manchester City stunned Real Madrid to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Jesus forced and then took advantage of two mistakes from Raphael Varane to set up Raheem Sterling and then score himself in a 2-1 victory over the Spanish champions at the Etihad Stadium.

The result secured a 4-2 aggregate win in the last-16 tie and booked City's place in the last-eight mini-tournament in Lisbon, where they will play Lyon on Saturday week.

Guardiola said: "We are more than satisfied, of course, especially for the players to go to Portugal and try to make the next step. We know exactly which team we beat, so we're incredibly satisfied.

"We showed ourselves what we wanted to do, we showed the opponent what we wanted to do. We didn't go to defend at 1-1, we went to score a goal.

"We created enough chances to score more goals. Courtois made incredible saves but it is more than deserved to be in the next stage."
