Things have gone wrong for Guardiola on and off the pitch this season, with the 5-1 drubbing against Arsenal the latest low for his misfiring champions.
Thierry Henry expressed sympathy for his former boss Pep Guardiola
City scraped through in the Champions League and are TWELVE points behind Prem leaders Liverpool after winning just four of their last ten Prem games.
Meanwhile Guardiola, 54, revealed last month that he has split from his partner of 36 years Cristina Serra., coinciding with City's dip in form.
Henry, who played for Guardiola at Barcelona, expressed sympathy for his former boss after the Arsenal defeat.
He said on Sky Sports: "Do I feel sorry about what's happening to Man City and Pep? Yeah I do, in one thing.
"It's not easy to deal with what Pep has to deal with outside of football.
"I went through that when I went to Barcelona. It's not easy to deal with stuff like that, when you're not well mentally.
"You can see that he's not his usual self. I had to deal with it when I went to Barcelona, I can tell you it's not easy.
"No one would like to deal with that while you have to perform all the time. So I think we can understand.
"Now if you go back on the field, it's not good enough.
"I don't think that they can cope whenever a team can deal with playing them all the way to ninety minutes and challenge them and look them in their eyes all the way."
Henry, 47, split from his ex-wife Claire Merry in 2007 after four years of marriage.
Merry reportedly demanded a £10million settlement during the divorce.
Henry announced he was leaving Merry just before his transfer to Barcelona from Arsenal.
She was said to be unhappy about the move and apparently was devastated when Henry walked out on their marriage.
Guardiola met Cristina when he was just 18-years-old and they have three children together - Maria, 24, Marius 22, and Valentina, 17.
Henry has been with current partner Andrea Rajacic for the past 15 years.
