Dolors Sala, mother of Catalan football coach Pep Guardiola, has died this Monday from coronavirus at the age of 82, as the Manchester City club informed via social media.
"Everyone associated with the club sends their most heartfelt sympathy at this most distressing time to Pep, his family and all their friends," wrote Manchester City.
The internet has filled with messages of condolence and support for Guardiola and his family.
Pep Guardiola became involved in the fight against coronavirus and in late March announced that he was donating 1 million euros to the Angel Soler Daniel Foundation, a foundation run by the Barcelona medical association, to purchase medical equipment and material to combat the virus.
