Luis Enrique and PSG stepped onto the Champions League podium, after beating Inter Milan 5-0, with a special backdrop: a tribute to his daughter Xana.

In 2015, Luis Enrique led Barcelona to the Champions League title in Berlin. At that time, his daughter Xana and he planted the Blaugrana flag on the pitch.

From Berlin to Munich, the most important cities in Germany, the shirt that Luis Enrique wore at the Allianz Arena recalled the moment in 2015, but with the PSG flag.

Luis Enrique mentioned this in his press conference before the Champions League final.

“I still remember a beautiful photo of me and my daughter Xana after the final in Berlin.

When we won the Champions League, she planted the Barca flag on the pitch. I would love to recreate that moment with PSG.

She can't be with me physically, but her spirit will always be there, and that's very important to me."

Luis Enrique did it: he dedicated his victory with PSG to his daughter by wearing a shirt with an image reminiscent of that moment.

This image has long been the symbol of the charity named after little Xana, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 10.

Xana has osteosarcoma, a cancer that affects the cells that form bone (the most common type of bone cancer and is most common in children and adolescents, especially during the rapid bone growth phase).

PSG fans also paid special tribute to the little girl, raising a tifo high in the Allianz Arena stands after the victory.

This is the second treble that Luis Enrique has won as a coach, equaling Pep Guardiola's record.

The first time took place with Barcelona in 2015, which was also a memorable time for Xana. Both times Enrique lifted the Champions League, he beat the Serie A representative (previously Juventus).
