Pep Guardiola looked frustrated and raged at goalkeeper Stefan Ortega in a bizarre hug after Manchester City blew a two-goal lead against Brentford.
On Monday night, reports out of Spain claimed that Guardiola and his wife Cristina had decided to separate after 30 years together.
Guardiola, who has three adult children with his fashion boss wife, has always stayed at the family home – an £8.4million mansion in Barcelona's most elite neighborhood – when returning to the Catalan capital from Manchester.
He is now expected to move away, but on Tuesday it was strictly football matters for the Spaniard as his team took on Brentford in the Premier League.
Phil Foden had scored a brace for the champions, but Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard scored to ensure the points were shared as City's woes continued.
And after the match, Guardiola was photographed in a strange embrace with his goalkeeper, Ortega, as he appeared angry at what had happened, although he continued to hug the German.
Guardiola, who could also have had an intense conversation with Josko Gvardiol on the pitch at full-time, confronted Ortega as he appeared to try to get his point across.
He could be seen grabbing the still-angry 32-year-old and getting close to his face as the player turned his head.
Pep then grabbed Ortega's head and shouted in his ear, before he walked away and began to get more frustrated, apparently shouting in his face.
He lightly punched his player's chest, then hugged him again and appeared to kiss him on the cheek.
After a few more hugs and exchanges of words, the two men went their separate ways.
