On Instagram, the gorgeous brunette (recently turned blonde) has become a social media influencer – drawing over 380,000 followers to her account.

Most recently, she was chosen to model bikinis for a swimwear brand, which she did with some style.

But she first came to our attention when she was seen snogging former Spurs ace Dele Alli on a rooftop bar.

The die-hard Man City fan has also joined her father on the pitch at the Etihad to celebrate a win – while Erling Haaland is said to be her favourite player.Bikini model

Maria caused quite a stir among her fan base when she showed off her amazing bikini bod for an up-and-coming swimwear range.

Wearing a skimpy bikini from iBilovesyou in a short video, the Barcelona-born beauty briefly flutters her eyes at the camera before turning away.

The short snippet was enough to get her social media followers excited.

One follower wrote: “Once a queen always a queen.”

Another particularly enthusiastic fan said: “Wow delicious sensuality beauty I love you.”

The video followed a picture weeks earlier when Maria, with dark hair, posed in a black bikini in a swimming pool.

Dalliance with Dele

Last year, Maria was spotted with ex-Spurs ace Dele Alli in a romantic clinch.

As we exclusively revealed, the pair didn’t care who saw them as they snogged each other at Cloud 9 rooftop bar in front of the DJ booth.

A few months later, they were spotted getting lunch at trendy Mayfair hotspot Novikov, before grabbing a coffee at Starbucks.

However, six months later it was reported that Alli had split with Maria.

Instead, he was said to have moved on with Made In Chelsea star Nicole Berry.

It could be a case of, where her father coaches she will support.

But, Maria has been very vocal about her love of Man City, a club that dad Pep feels completely at home with.

And she has, in fact, treaded on the hallowed turf at the Etihad.

After Man City defeated Leicester in a league in 2019, Maria was spotted hugging her dad on the sidelines at the final whistle.

She is also reportedly a big fan of City new boy, Erling Haaland – who her dad can’t stop raving about as he scores goals galore for the Premier League giants.

Maria will have plenty to celebrate if Pep and Erling fire City to their first ever Champions League trophy in this campaign.
