Enrique's late daughter remembered
Agencies Paris Paris Saint-Germain fans unveiled a huge banner honouring coach Luis Enrique's late daughter Xana after the French club won their first Champions League on Saturday following years of failure. After his side thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich, the Spaniard also switched t-shirts to carry a reference to his daughter, who died of bone cancer in 2019 aged 9. 'Xana is always with us, we always think of her,' he told reporters. She had witnessed her father lift European club football's top prize as part of a treble while he was Barcelona coach in 2015, but he has managed the feat again after a painful period which included having to step down from the Spain job before her death. A row over his return to the Spain role and subsequent exit after a disappointing 2022 World Cup, only for the side to go on and win Euro 2024, had threatened Enrique's legacy. But he has moulded a real team since taking over in 2023 at PSG, eschewing their previous obsession with big names. His know-how has delivered in spectacular style with a record-winning margin for a Champions League final. 'No one expected this. We pressed so well, it's amazing what we managed. We are very happy, we had this ambition and goal,' he added. Club president Nasser Al Khelaifi, part of the Qatari group who took over the club in 2011 when they had won just two French league titles, was thrown into the air by the players after they lifted the trophy. They now have a record 13 Ligue 1 titles, but the big aim was the Champions League, which looked further away than ever when Lionel Messi came and then left after the unhappiest period of his career from 2021-23. Al Khelaifi, having also seen Neymar and Kylian Mbappe walk away, changed strategy by investing in younger prospects and wily professionals. It has paid off handsomely with a first ever French treble.

Inzaghi coy over Inter future after Champions League heartbreak
PA Media/dpa London Simone Inzaghi refused to confirm if he would be Inter Milan manager at the Club World Cup after he experienced Champions League final disappointment for a second time in three seasons. Inzaghi watched Inter get destroyed in Saturday's showpiece in Munich as Paris Saint-Germain ran riot to inflict a 5-0 defeat. Inter were on course for the treble in April, but a Coppa Italia semi-final exit was followed by being pipped to the Serie A title by Napoli and their last chance of silverware evaporated at Allianz Arena in a final where the build-up had seen Inzaghi heavily linked with a move to Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal. Asked if he would manage Inter at the Club World Cup in America, which begins in two weeks, Inzaghi said: 'As I was saying before to your colleague, I cannot answer this question now. I came here out of respect for you, for politeness because I am hurting from a sporting point of view. 'It's not the right time to talk about the future. We are extremely disappointed and since July of last year we've played 58 or 59 games, we got to this final match, so it's awkward to talk about my future now. 'Again, we are extremely disappointed. We will be talking about the fact we won no silverware this year but these players deserve great credit because they gave it their very best shot and we suffered a lot of injuries. I wouldn't change these players for anyone else.' While Inzaghi would not be drawn on his future, he did back Inter to bounce back from defeat by a record margin in a European final. 'The club is strong, the club supports us, we have already signed two player for next year and we know we will have to sign some more, but the club has always supported us all the way,' Inzaghi said. 'They were with us in our victories, in our defeats, the president (Giuseppe Marotta) was there, all the top executives, again everyone is extremely disappointed, but they told me they are proud of what Inter achieved this year in these 59 matches.' Inter president Marotta backed Inzaghi to continue, telling the official club website: 'Our assessment of Inzaghi hasn't changed. 'As I've already said, he still has one year left on his contract and over the past four years, he's proven himself worthy of the role he holds. 'He's shown great professionalism, and one disappointing night doesn't erase all his achievements.'
