PSG manager Luis Enrique hopes to celebrate Champions League win in memory of daughter
Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique and his family suffered the ultimate heartbreak in 2019, when their nine-year-old daughter Xana died after a battle with cancer. It was a tragedy that rocked the entire soccer community and one which stays front and center in the 55-year-old's thoughts today. For Enrique, who took a short break from the sport five years ago, it also serves as inspiration which he hopes will help his PSG side claim its first Champions League trophy against Inter Milan on Saturday. Enrique has already won the Champions League as a manager, when he guided Barcelona to the trophy back in 2015. In those post-match celebrations, Enrique celebrated with his daughter on the pitch and there is one particular memory he would like to recreate this weekend. 'My daughter loved parties and I'm sure where she is, she's still having parties,' Enrique told reporters earlier this year. 'And I remember an incredible photo I have of her in the Champions League final in Berlin, after winning the Champions League, putting the flag of FC Barcelona in the pitch. I have the wish to be able to do the same with Paris Saint-Germain. 'My daughter won't be there, but she will be… she won't be there physically, but she will be spiritually and that, for me, is very important.' The family tragedy five years ago happened when Enrique was manager of Spain. In June 2019, he stepped away from the role to spend more time with his family. In August that year, he announced that Xana had died. 'You'll be the star that guides our family,' he said in a statement at the time. In November 2019, Enrique returned to his role as manager of La Roja and guided his team to the semifinals of Euro 2020. He then resigned from his position after a disappointing showing at the Qatar World Cup in 2022, where Spain was knocked out of the Last 16. Prior to his stint as the national team manager, Enrique enjoyed huge success as head coach of the Blaugrana, winning the La Liga title, domestic cup and Champions League in 2015 – otherwise known as a European treble. His coaching career followed an impressive spell as a player – the Spaniard played for the likes of Real Madrid and Barça, as well as earning 62 caps for the national team. He won three La Liga titles during his playing days and an Olympic gold medal for Spain at the 1992 Games. Given his pedigree as both a player and manager, it was perhaps no surprise when PSG, one of Europe's biggest clubs, announced him as its new head coach in 2023. He hit the ground running, winning the domestic treble in his first season and guiding the French side to the Champions League semifinals, falling to German club Borussia Dortmund in a shock result. This season, he has had to rework the entire team following the departure of French superstar Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid but, testament to his tactical nous, his young squad now looks like arguably the best team in Europe. After clinching both the league and two domestic cups so far this season, Enrique needs the Champions League title to become just the second manager in history to win two European trebles with two different teams. Pep Guardiola is the only manager to do so currently, with Barça in 2009 and Manchester City in 2023. But through all his recent success, it's the memory of the time spent with his daughter which shines the brightest. In a recent Movistar+ documentary, Enrique said he felt like he was a 'very lucky' man, despite the heartbreak his family has suffered. It means when he stands on the touchline in Saturday's Champions League final, Enrique won't be alone. 'My daughter came to spend nine marvelous years with us. We have a thousand memories of her, videos, incredible things,' he said. 'Xana is alive. In the physical plane, she's not here, but in the spiritual one, she's here because every day we talk about her, we laugh, and we remember. 'I believe that Xana still watches us.'

Kahli Johnson header is fitting marker for Tom Sermanni in Matildas win
At Marvel Stadium - it felt rather appropriate, all things considered, that Tom Sermanni marked his 150th in charge of the Matildas by making Kahli Johnson the 237th player to represent Australia. As while the 2010 Asian Cup may have provided the 70-year-old with his crowning achievement, his is a more than three-decade legacy built upon the stories and achievements of those who he has given an opportunity. So many of the pathways that are found in the women's game Down Under wouldn't exist without his guidance, and of the current Golden Generation alone, the likes of Sam Kerr, Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley, and Katrina Gorry were all given intentional debuts under his charge. So it all became even more fitting when Johnson headed home the 38th minute goal that kickstarted the Matildas to a 2-0 win over Argentina at Marvel on Friday evening, a game lacking in much of the way of fireworks but in which the hosts never looked in danger of falling. Kaitlyn Torpey put the result beyond doubt in the 69th minute, the winger's second international goal blessed by the footballing gods when her shanked attempt to send in a cross from the right floated right over the head of Abigaíl Chaves and inside the far post. Advertisement Johnson, 21, took a leap into the unknown during the middle of the A-League Women season in moving from Western United, while right in the mix for the race for the Golden Boot, to newly launched Canadian competition the Northern Super League and has kicked on with three goals in six games for the Calgary Wild. She'd moved down to Melbourne from Sydney a few years prior to ease herself into living away from home and when the Wild came knocking with a transfer fee for her services, she felt ready. Now, having scored a goal every other game in Canada, she's become a senior international, with a goal under her belt to boot, and the latest in a long line of players whose stories cannot be told without Sermanni. The ball to find Johnson was delivered with pinpoint accuracy by Charli Grant, who galloped down the flank before sending in a perfectly weighted cross for her teammate — who replays showed may have strayed just into an offside position — to send across the face of Chaves. Though not all that much older than Johnson, the defender is something of a grizzled young vet in the current setup given she's still only 23-years-old but she's now in her fourth year in the national setup, with 34 appearances in green and gold under her belt. Probably helped by not needing to do much defending — Argentina would fail to register a shot on target until the 80th minute — the Spurs flanker was one of the Matildas best on the evening. So, too, was Johnson, who flashed intent early on when she won the ball on the left and whipped in crosses in the sixth and seventh minutes and who put a shot just wide in the 49th in search of a brace. Given the chance to start as the nine once more, clearly being positioned by Sermanni as the heir-apparent for Kerr, Holly McNamara showed off her determined, angry worth as well: sending a volleyed attempt from a Grant cross wide in the first half and fizzing an effort outside the post in the 61st. Clare Wheeler got in on the act, too, firing off a 72nd minute attempt that Chaves did incredibly well to get down and keep out. Indeed, with the likes of Kerr, Gorry, Ellie Carpenter, and Hayley Raso all absent from this squad and the Arsenal trio of Catley, Foord, and Kyra Cooney-Cross not risked after their late arrival into camp after winning the Champions League, Friday was an evening for the unheralded and rising members of the squad. It almost had to be, given that Football Australia has indicated a new coach will be coming in next month, rendering these games as something of an audition. But it was also a celebration of an underappreciated legend in Sermanni, delivered in fitting fashion.
