A special reunion took place last weekend in Manchester, as Pep Guardiola welcomed Jordi Cruyff, son of the legendary Johan Cruyff, for a visit. Jordi shared highlights of the trip on his Instagram account, offering fans a glimpse into the memorable moments.
He posted several photos from his time in the city, including shots from the stands at the Etihad Stadium during Manchester City’s thrilling match against Crystal Palace, and a snapshot alongside Guardiola himself.
“It was a pleasure to spend a few days with my old teammates Pep Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain. Big respect for the incredible job they have done. Also nice to enjoy the great vibe of the city of Manchester,” Cruyff captioned his post.
The match he attended turned out to be unforgettable. Manchester City staged a dramatic comeback, overturning a 0–2 deficit to defeat Crystal Palace 5–2 in front of their home crowd.
The victory was not only a display of resilience but also crucial for City’s ambitions. It propelled them to 5th place in the Premier League—currently enough to secure Champions League qualification for next season, a key objective for the club in the remaining stretch of the campaign.
