Guardiola’s Wife, Daughters Caught up in Manchester Terror Attack

Manchester City football club manager, Pep Guardiola’s wife, Cristina Serra and two of their three daughters were caught up in the terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena that left 22 people dead and 120 injured.
They, however, escaped from the atrocity unhurt, according to reports in Spain.
It’s understood that the family members of some other players of the club were also at the Ariana Grande concert, on Monday night, and were unharmed.
A message on Guardiola’s official Twitter account said: “Shocked. Can’t believe what happened last night. My deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims. #Ilovemanchester.”
City have set up a support centre at the Etihad Stadium to help anyone affected by the attack following discussions with Greater Manchester Police in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Food, drinks, blankets and phone chargers are among the services on offer to members of the public in the Chairman’s Club.
City released a statement that read: “The thoughts and prayers of our ownership, Board and everyone at Manchester City are with the people of Manchester and all those affected, following the horrifying events of last night’s Manchester Arena attack.
“We have offered our full support throughout the night and this morning to the leaders of the City of Manchester itself and to the Emergency Services, who are doing so much to support our city in these most challenging of circumstances.
“The Etihad Stadium is being used as a support centre following the tragic events and Greater Manchester Police have advised that anyone needing assistance relating to the attack can access that help at the Etihad Stadium via Gate 11.”
