Here's more on the loss faced by Barcelona.

Manchester United posted on social media to say the club was "saddened to hear this terrible news. "We send our heartfelt condolences to Pep and his family." Barcelona posted on Twitter: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Dolors Sala during this difficult time, and we would like to express our most heartfelt condolences, especially to Pep Guardiola, his family and his friends."
