Pep Guardiola 'not given up hope' of saving marriage to wife Cristina Serra as Man City boss makes secret three-day trip to family home in Barcelona

FA Cup

Nottingham Forest

Manchester City

<p>It was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-splits-from-wife-cristina-serra-after-more-than-30-years-together/blt42ea4588e396c22f#csc9c980d1701fbf34" target="_blank">announced in January that, after 30 years together</a>, Manchester City boss Guardiola would be making an amicable split from his partner. The couple were said to have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-split-wife-cristina-serra-tense-dinner-leaving-man-city-middle-east/blt315b7ec44f02dd3e#cs2454bfa87f70ae8b" target="_blank">grown apart after Cristina moved back to Catalunya in 2019</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>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.</p>

THE GOSSIP

<p>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 <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-cristina-serra-divorce-proceedings-man-city-lawyer/bltf2e70775e2c2e691" target="_blank">divorce proceedings can be avoided</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>A source has told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33757449/pep-guardiola-wife-spain-visit/ " target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a>: “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.”</p>

WHAT A SOURCE SAID

<p>Cristina reportedly made the decision to head back to Barcelona when Guardiola made it clear that he would be extending his time in England. The 54-year-old – who took charge of City in 2016 - is now tied to a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-stay-man-city-sign-new-contract-legendary-manager-pen-new-deal-beyond-2025-seismic-decision-future/blt2bd797b9fcb666fa" target="_blank">contract at the Etihad Stadium that will run until the summer of 2027</a>.</p>
