What happened to psg manager luis enrique's daughter?

THE SPANISH MANAGER HAS LED PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN TO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL WHERE THEY WILL TAKE ON INTER MILAN 18:00, 31 May 2025 Paris Saint-Germain take on Inter Milan for the biggest

prize in European club football on Saturday night, with the two heavyweights battling it out to lift the Champions League trophy in Munich. While Inter have been crowned champions of Europe

on three occasions, the trophy has famously eluded PSG over the years. The French side reached their first ever Champions League final in 2020 and fell to a narrow defeat to Bayern Munich,

but they are determined to emerge on the right side of the result this time around. PSG finished 15th in the league phase of this year's competition with just 13 points from their eight

matches, but saw off Brest, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal on their way to the final. They have been led all the way by Spanish manager Luis Enrique, who previously guided Barcelona to

the Champions League title during the 2014/15 season. However, another trophy lift on Saturday night would be even more meaningful to the 55-year-old, whose daughter Xana tragically passed

away at the age of nine in 2019. Enrique had been made manager of Spain in July 2018, but less than a year into the job he announced that he would step away from the role for personal

reasons. Article continues below Less than two months later, in August 2019, the former Real Madrid and Barcelona player shared the tragic news that Xana had died. She had battled a rare

bone cancer called osteosarcoma for "five intense months" before passing away, leaving Enrique and his wife Elena devastated. In a tribute posted on Twitter, the Spanish manager

wrote: "We will miss you lots but we will remember you every day of our lives, with the hope that in the future we'll meet each other again. "You'll be the star that

guides our family. Rest dear Xana." An emotional Enrique later opened up on the tragedy during moving scenes in his documentary '_You Haven't Got a Clue' _last year.

"Can I consider myself fortunate or unfortunate? I consider myself fortunate, very fortunate," he said. "My daughter Xana came to live with us for nine wonderful years. We

have a thousand memories of her, videos, incredible things. Article continues below "My mother couldn’t keep photos of Xana. Until I came home and asked, 'Why are there no photos

of Xana, Mom?' 'I can’t, I can’t, she used to say. "'Mom, you have to put up photos of Xana, Xana is alive,' I replied." "Physically, she may not be here,

but spiritually she is," the ex-Roma and Barcelona manager added. "Because every day we talk about her, we laugh, and we remember because I think Xana still sees us."
