He is one of the better headers of the ball, and he is as quick as Aguero. Also looked like scoring a few times. None of that made it a World Class performance. But let's not under sell him.

I don't at all think that Jesus is world class at the moment - he fails to convert chances far too often; certainly he failed to convert Mahrez's cross/pass.Really? He got a goal and worked hard but he rarely actually looks like scoring. He’s not particularly quick, can’t head it and can’t shoot with much power
So whilst he had a good game, I don’t think world class is an accurate description
He is pretty good at heading the ball though, especially considering his lack of height.

Jesus was a top prospect when we signed him, and he's definitely come on leaps and bounds under Pep.
Long way to go in terms of being a regular scorer but there is more to his game than scoring goals.

If you take world class literally it means the best in the world in one’s position or would get in to a world 11. If Gabby is the best striker in the world the game is In a bad place!
It literally means, "among the best in the world".

No it doesn't. Among the best in the world mean among the best in the world.
World Class means he'd represent the World in a World XI. Which he wouldn't.

Just because some of you have decided that's what it means, it doesn't change the definition of the term. Barcon is correct.
I don't think Gabriel is there yet but he will be if he lives up to even half of his potential.
