The poster recalls the moment Xana waved the Barca flag exactly 10 years ago, right after Barca's victory over Juventus in the 2015 Champions League final.
It was a beautiful moment, but also heartbreaking and choking, because Xana was no longer there. Four years after that moment, she passed away from bone cancer.
It was also the most difficult period in coach Luis Enrique's life. From a man with an open lifestyle, always sharing pictures of his happy family on social networks, he completely withdrew after the endless pain.

In June 2019, Mr. Enrique suddenly resigned as head coach of the Spanish national team. The real reason was not announced, only the closest people to this former player knew clearly. Mr. Enrique wanted to spend all his time with his youngest daughter, in her final days.
Two months later, Xana passed away. It was a huge shock to his family and to Enrique himself. At the end of 2019, Enrique returned to coach the Spanish team.

But the Spanish strategist's career generally declined after that pain. During the next 3 years leading the "Bulls", he often created controversy with his strange behavior, and was then fired after the failure at the 2022 World Cup.
It was not until he took over as PSG's head coach that Enrique was revived. He won the second Champions League title of his coaching career, and also led PSG to win the tournament for the first time in his career.

Paris fans truly expressed their love for the talented coach through a giant poster stretched across the stands.
It was not a photo, but a painting of Xana and her father. The clothes and flag were changed to those of the French capital's football team.
At the beginning of the season, coach Enrique said: "I had a beautiful image with Xana when we both planted the Barcelona flag on the grass. I also want to have a moment like that, with the PSG flag. She will not be physically there, but mentally present."

That fleeting statement from coach Enrique became a source of inspiration for PSG fans, and they then dedicated this emotional moment to the talented strategist.
In the early morning of June 1, PSG defeated Inter Milan 5-0 to win the Champions League for the first time. The great achievement of the French team has a great contribution from the great coach - Luis Enrique.
