Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola donates €1m to help fight coronavirus in Barcelona as death toll jumps by 514 in one day in Spain

Pep Guardiola has donated €1million (£900,000) in the fight against coronavirus in Barcelona.

The Manchester City manager has earmarked the money, sent to the Angel Soler Daniel Foundation, to be spent on purchasing medical equipment.

The fund is named after a doctor from Santpedor - the town Guardiola hails from - who passed away in the 1970s.
