It was announced in January that after 30 years of common life, the boss of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, was going to separate amicably from his partner. The couple would have moved away after Cristina's return to Catalonia in 2019.

No formal separation has yet been pronounced, which means that there is still a hope of saving the long -term relationship. Guardiola would have gone to Barcelona in private jet after the victory of City in FA Cup against Plymouth on March 1.

City had then spent seven days without match, before facing Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, which gave Guardiola time to go to his family home and meet Cristina – with a chance that the divorce procedure could be avoided.

A source said to the Sun: ” They spent three nights together in Barcelona, ​​both housed in the family home. Pep went to the dentist on Monday and Cristina went to her downtown fashion shop. They met at the store and spent three hours there before going home to spend the evening together. Pep left for Manchester Tuesday morning. »»

Cristina would have made the decision to return to Barcelona when Guardiola clearly said he would extend her stay in England. The 54 -year -old, who took control of City in 2016, is now bound by a contract at the Etihad Stadium which runs until the summer of 2027.
