Maria Guardiola on Inheriting Pep’s Competitive Streak

1 / 3

As Manchester City pursue another Premier League crown under Pep Guardiola, his eldest daughter, Maria, has been by his side at every milestone. From watching Barcelona’s 2009 Champions League triumph as a child to celebrating City’s recent Carabao Cup win at Wembley, Maria credits those shared experiences for bringing their family closer. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, she revealed that she and her father both inherited a fierce determination. “When we set our minds to something, we pursue it with tunnel vision until we achieve it,” she said. She also praised her parents’ guidance, saying they encouraged her to embrace new challenges and learn from failure. Off the pitch, Pep and Maria’s mother, Cristina, ended their three-decade partnership last year amid rumours that Pep’s demanding schedule played a part. With Pep’s City contract running until 2027, speculation about his next move continues.
