Luis Enrique feels emotional after PSG fans pay tribute to his daughter

In a poignant moment following a historic achievement in football, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) celebrated their first Champions League triumph by unveiling a heartfelt tribute to manager Luis Enrique's late daughter, Xana. The final took place against Inter Milan in Munich, where PSG achieved a remarkable victory. The French club had never won this prestigious tournament before, making their success particularly significant. Enrique's daughter, who died in 2019 at the young age of nine due to cancer, had previously celebrated with him during his time at Barcelona after they won the Champions League in 2015. Enrique shared a touching memory of her carrying a Barcelona flag during that celebration and expressed his desire to recreate a similar scene with a PSG flag in her honor. The PSG supporters responded with a massive tifo displaying an image of Enrique and Xana planting the flag on the pitch, a gesture that deeply moved the coach. He stated, "Lovely from the fans, and for my family,” acknowledging the emotional weight of the tribute. Despite the triumph, Enrique conveyed that he doesn't need to win titles to remember his daughter, affirming her everlasting presence in his life. The victory marked Enrique’s second treble as a manager, following his previous successes with Barcelona. During the post-match celebration, the Eiffel Tower was illuminated in PSG colors as a tribute to their groundbreaking achievement. Enrique, who joined the club less than a year prior, emphasized the importance of winning important trophies and noted that it was a milestone for PSG to conquer the Champions League. In contrast, Inter Milan's coach Simone Inzaghi praised his team for their efforts during the season but acknowledged their shortcomings in the final match against PSG. In addition to the tribute, Luis Enrique praised the performance of his player Ousmane Dembele, who played a vital role in the team's success throughout the season. After the match, Enrique expressed his desire for Dembele to receive the Ballon d'Or based on his exceptional contributions, not only in scoring but in his overall game performance. With this remarkable victory, PSG aims to build on their success as they prepare for future competitions and solidify their position in European football, driven by their ambitious coach.
