Pep Guardiola cut a frustrated figure and raged at goalkeeper Stefan Ortega in a bizarre embrace after Manchester City blew a two-goal lead against Brentford.
On Monday evening, reports from Spain claimed that Guardiola and his wife Cristina had decided to separate after 30 years together.
Guardiola, who has three grown-up children with his fashion boss wife, has always stayed at their family home - an £8.4million mansion in Barcelona's most elite neighbourhood - when he has returned to the Catalan capital from Manchester.
He is now expected to move out of the home, but, on Tuesday, it was strictly football matters for the Spaniard as his side took on Brentford in the Premier League.
