The PSG curve, the shirt: the dedication is all for Lucho’s daughter who passed away 4 years ago. In 2015 after beating Juve in the final in Berlin the coach and Xana planted a flag together on the pitch. That immortalized moment added chills to chills
From Saturday 6 June 2015 to Saturday 31 May 2025. From Barcelona to Paris Saint Germain. From Berlin to Munich. A circle that closes, for Luis Enrique, who after the victory over Inter wore the shirt with the representation of his daughter Xana, who disappeared in 2019 at 9 years for a very aggressive form of bone cancer. Daughter who in 2015 had taken the field to celebrate with dad with a Blaugrana flag. Immediately after the triumph, the coach approached the curve, which in the meantime spread a maxi drawing that traced that scene, to be launched a packaged shirt. He changed on the pitch and wore a black t-shirt, with a simple drawing on his chest: two faces with a cardboard (one of those who saw his daughter) who together plant a PSG flag on the pitch. In this way he wanted to recreate what happened after the first Champions League won on the bench. “My daughter is with me from the moment she went away. It went away with the body but it is always with me, I don’t need a victory of a Champions League to remember it, in life you are born, you die and everything else is seen, I want to remember her with the spirit”.

“My daughter will not be physically present at the final, but it will be spiritually” said Luis Enrique on the eve. “My dream is to repeat the scene that was after the 2015 final. When Xana cried a flag of Barcelona. I have the desire to do the same thing with the PSG”. And so it was.
