The current relation that keep the clubs FC Barcelona and Manchester City is more turbulent of what could expect. Although the English club account in his interior with destellos of barcelonismo, since the ex Barcelona Guardiola, Txiki Berguiristain and Ferran Soriano do life in the charges of trainer, sportive director and executive director, respectively, the connection that exists at present between the entities has seen cracked.

The most recent reason of the distance between both institutions resides in a name in particular: Eric García. From Catalonia never saw with good eyes that the English club, in his eagerness to sign a formative project solid, fichara to the youngsters of his quarry, offering high wages. García is only one of the examples of the "theft" of promises that has exerted the City in front of the Spanish team, but this situation already has given previously.

For example, in 2010, the team "Blue" purchased the index card of the canterano of the Barça Gai Assulin, the one who in that then had 19 years. Although the success of the Israeli player never presented in Manchester, the team of the city homónima followed repeating the formula and proof of this is the recent signing of the left side Juan Larios, of so alone 16 years, bought by the City in January of this same year from the Juvenile B of the Barcelona.

However, the club directed by Guardiola neither has very good impressions of the Barcelona picture from does a time. Further of the clear brush that the technician of Sampedor with the president Josep Maria Bartomeu, the intention of the Catalan team of repescar to Eric García, again in the eye of the hurricane, has not seated for nothing well in the breast of the dispatches of the Ettihad Stadium.

City And Barcelona have shared enough

Further of the canteranos of the Barcelona that the Manchester City has incorporated to his rows and of the directors that some time went through the Camp Nou and now work with the English picture, there is a litter of players that, during his career, dressed both T-shirts in some point. Specifically, doing memory on the recent years, can appoint to Sylvinho, Yaya Touré, Claudio Bravo and, obviously, again to Eric García. And Messi, by a hair's breadth...

Incidentally, Nolito is another ex Barcelona that has gone through both teams like player, whereas Mikel Arteta and Rodolfo Borrell explain also with both genes. The first gave his initial steps like player in the Barcelona B and arrived to the City like second trainer of Guardiola between 2016 and 2019, whereas, by his part, Borrell trained to the inferior categories blaugranas does years and has exerted distinct charges in Manchester from his arrival to the entity in 2012.
