Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been seen for the first time since news broke of his separation from his wife of 30 years, Cristina Serra.
The reigning Premier League champions arrived in London ahead of their clash against Brentford last night.

Until this season this 860-mile separation — Pep in Manchester and his Cristina in Barcelona with their three children — coincided with a golden age for City and its boss. But last night it emerged that Mr and Mrs Guardiola have reportedly decided to end their marriage, although friends have said it is ‘friendly and cordial’ and they spent Christmas together with their children Maria (24) Marius (22) and Valentina (17).
