PSG fans pay homage to Luis Enrique's late daughter

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique honored his late daughter, Xana, after winning the Champions League final on Saturday by wearing a T-shirt showing them planting a club flag together, while fans paid homage with an emotive tifo.

Luis Enrique first won the Champions League when he completed the treble with Barcelona in 2015. Xana, then five years old, planted a huge Barça flag on the turf.

Xana died in August 2019, aged nine, after a five-month battle with bone cancer.

On Saturday in Munich, Germany, after his PSG side put together the most one-sided Champions League final in history with a 5-0 win over Inter Milan, Luis Enrique replaced his shirt to honor that moment.

After the trophy ceremony, fans unfurled a tifo depicting the Spaniard planting a PSG flag with Xana beside him.

"I have an amazing photo of her planting a Barcelona flag into the turf," Luis Enrique said in January.

"I want to be able to do the same with a PSG flag. My daughter won't be there in the physical sense, but she will be there spiritually, and that's very important to me."
