Report: Before his move to FC Barcelona, Gabriel Jesus has an impressive record against Real Madrid

FC Barcelona are preparing to strengthen their attack by signing Brazilian Gabriel Jesus, who has significant experience in major matches after his spells with Manchester City and Arsenal. He also has an impressive record against Real Madrid, making him a troublesome opponent for the royal club in their previous encounters.

Gabriel Jesus, 29, will bolster FC Barcelona's attack as they seek an experienced striker to strengthen their squad. The Brazilian forward has an impressive record against Real Madrid, having scored three goals and provided one assist in four previous encounters, achieving three victories and one defeat.

Gabriel Jesus faced Real Madrid for the first time at the Santiago Bernabéu during the first leg of the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League for the 2019/2020 season, when the Brazilian forward managed to score the equalizer with a header after Isco had given Real Madrid the lead.

In the same match, Kevin De Bruyne scored Manchester City's second goal from a penalty, securing a 2-1 victory for the English side. Gabriel Jesus caused Sergio Ramos to be sent off in the final minutes, meaning he will miss the return leg.

In the second leg at the Etihad Stadium, Gabriel Jesus continued his impressive form against Real Madrid, showing great determination in pressing Raphael Varane, which led to Manchester City's first goal scored by Raheem Sterling. He then added the second goal himself with a strike that secured his team's 2-1 win, playing a crucial role in Manchester City's progression to the quarter-finals.

Gabriel Jesus is back to face Real Madrid after two seasons, having previously met them in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals during the 2021/2022 season, continuing his impressive appearances against the royal club.

In the first leg at the Etihad Stadium, the Brazilian forward scored Manchester City's second goal, finishing a move in style inside the penalty area, contributing to his team's thrilling 4-3 victory.

However, Gabriel Jesus did not score in the return match at Santiago Bernabéu, as he played 78 minutes and left the pitch when Manchester City were leading by one goal, before Real Madrid managed to turn the result around.

Rodrygo scored two goals to bring Real Madrid back into the match and force extra time, before Karim Benzema completed the Spanish team's comeback with a penalty, securing the royal club's place in the final.

Gabriel Jesus has faced Real Madrid four times, and his record during those matches is as follows:

In the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 for the 2019/2020 season, Real Madrid lost 1-2 to Manchester City, with one goal scored.

In the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 for the 2019/2020 season, Manchester City beat Real Madrid 2-1, with one goal scored and another assisted.

In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final 2021/2022, Manchester City beat Real Madrid 4-3, with one goal scored.

In the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg of 2021/2022, Real Madrid beat Manchester City 3-1, without any goals being recorded.

Gabriel Jesus faced Real Madrid again when he became an Arsenal player, in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League for the 2024/2025 season, but he was unable to participate due to a torn ACL in his left knee.

Despite the absence of the Brazilian striker, Arsenal managed to eliminate Real Madrid after winning both legs 3-0 and 2-1.

Gabriel Jesus is awaiting the official announcement of his transfer to FC Barcelona, where he will try to replicate his previous performances against Real Madrid while wearing the Catalan club's jersey. In recent years, he has become one of the most troublesome players for the royal club.
