Manchester City expressed their heartfelt sympathy to Pep Guardiola and his family and friends after the death of the manager's mother.
Dolors Sala Carrió, 82, sadly passed away in Barcelona after contracting coronavirus, the deadly disease that has caused a global pandemic.
"The Manchester City family are devastated to report the death today of Pep’s mother Dolors Sala Carrió in Manresa, Barcelona after contracting Corona Virus," the club statement read. "She was 82-years-old.
"Everyone associated with the club sends their most heartfelt sympathy at this most distressing time to Pep, his family and all their friends."
Spain has been hit particularly badly by coronavirus, with more than 100,000 reported cases and more than 10,000 deaths as countries do their best to try to limit the damage caused.
Guardiola last month donated £920,000 (€1million) to the Barcelona -based Fundacio Angel Soler Daniel, who are working in conjunction with the Official College of Doctors of Barcelona help combat the outbreak.
The generous offering has gone towards buying essential health equipment needed to help treat people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
