Paris Saint-Germain coach Louis Enrique hopes to honor his daughter with Champions League victory

Louis Enrique, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is about to usher in another important moment in his coaching career this Saturday - leading the team to the first Champions League title. However, this game has a special meaning for him, because he always remembers his daughter, nine-year-old Xana, who died of cancer.

Enrique led Barcelona to the Champions League in 2015 and shared the joy of victory with his daughter in the post-match celebration. At that time, Xana stood on the court with a Barcelona flag, becoming one of the most precious memories in his father's heart. Unfortunately, Xana passed away due to illness in 2019, which was a heavy blow to the entire family. Enrique temporarily left the football world to accompany his family through this difficult period. Despite this, this experience did not defeat him, but became the driving force that inspired him to move forward.

Now, standing on the position of Paris Saint-Germain, Enrique hopes to recreate the scene of celebrating with his daughter that year. "Although my daughter can't be there, I know she will be with us mentally," Enrique said in an interview. "I long to lift the trophy again, just like in Berlin, but this time it's for Paris Saint-Germain."

Enrique played for Barcelona and Real Madrid in his career. As a legendary player who played for Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and later led the Spanish national team to a brilliant record, Enrique's career was full of glory. But nothing is more cherished than memories with his family. Even after experiencing great personal grief, he remained optimistic and considered himself a "very lucky" person.

For Enrique, Saturday's game is not just a football game, but also a way of remembering the late beloved daughter. When he was commanding on the sidelines, he would feel his daughter supporting him. And this belief will also become his key force in leading the team to victory.

In any case, we should respect and admire Enrique's strength and courage in the face of challenges in life. Regardless of the end result, he has proved with his actions what true fatherly love is.
