Luis Enrique reappeared on his Twitch channel for a good cause: to announce the Xana Foundation in honour of his late daughter, with which he aims to help children suffering from serious illnesses, as well as their families. In addition, the PSG coach said he would like to return to Barcelona, but "it is very difficult" to cross paths because of his contract with the French side.

PSG coach Luis Enrique presented the Xana Foundation, of which he is a founding patron with his wife, Elena Cullell, and whose main objective is to support children suffering from serious illnesses and their families.

This initiative, of a family nature, "is inspired by the smile and the desire to make the people around" Xana Martinez Cullell, the couple's daughter who died in 2019 at the age of 9 from osteosarcoma, explained the Foundation in a statement.

"The Xana Foundation was created with the aim of helping all those people who, unfortunately, go through these experiences and do not have the resources to accompany their children", explained the Asturian technician.

"I make it a rule to honour my contracts"

Now focused on sporting matters, he explained his situation with Barcelona, his Champions League quarter-final opponents: "I have always said that I would like to return, but the reality is that it is very difficult to cross paths.

"Now they will need a coach, but my rule is to honour my contracts and the people who trust me. I won't be the one to break that contract, it's not my style and I'll never do it.

Finally, Luis Enrique analysed the tie against Barcelona: "I see it as very difficult. Not only because they have won five Champions League titles, but also because of the greatness of the club. I have been a 'Cule' and a member of the club for 25 years, but this is my profession and I will try with all my might to help my team win the tie. I will be a member of Barca and Sporting until I die".
