5 things you (probably) didn’t know about Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus

The banana and oat smoothie

Jesus’ mother Vera Lucia is her son’s biggest fan, and always does her bit before his matches to make sure he is in perfect condition to perform his best on the pitch.

That includes phoning him prior to each game to wish him luck, but also making sure that he has had her banana and oat smoothie, something she reportedly deems ‘miraculous’ in a bid to avoid cramp during matches.
