Luis Enrique, newly crowned UEFA Champions League winner with Paris Saint-Germain, stayed true to a heartfelt promise by paying tribute to his late daughter Xana moments after securing the biggest trophy in European club football.
Following PSG’s 5-0 win over Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in Munich — a victory that clinched the club’s first-ever Champions League title — the Spanish manager stepped onto the pitch wearing a special shirt bearing the logo of the “Fundación Xana,” a foundation created in honor of his daughter, who tragically passed away in 2019 at the age of nine due to bone cancer.
As the celebrations unfolded, Luis Enrique took a quiet moment for himself. With the PSG flag planted firmly in the ground behind him, he knelt and pointed to the name “Xana” on his shirt — a moving gesture that quickly went viral across social media platforms.
