  It was announced in January that, after 30 years together, Manchester City boss Guardiola would be making an amicable split from his partner. The couple were said to have grown apart after Cristina moved back to Catalunya in 2019.

  THE GOSSIP

  No formal parting of ways has been completed as yet, meaning that there is still hope of salvaging the long-term relationship. Guardiola is said to have flown to Barcelona by private jet following City’s FA Cup win over Plymouth on March 1.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  City had seven days without a game at that point, before facing Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, and that gave Guardiola time in which to visit his family home and meet up with Cristina – with there still a chance that divorce proceedings can be avoided.

  WHAT A SOURCE SAID

  A source has told : “They spent three nights together in Barcelona, both staying at the family home. Pep went out on Monday to the dentist and Cristina went to her fashion shop in the city centre. They met up again at the shop and spent three hours there before returning to the house to spend the evening together. Pep left for Manchester on Tuesday morning.”
