Luis Enrique Joins Coaching Elite with Third Champions League Title

Luis Enrique has etched his name into football history, becoming only the sixth manager to win the Champions League more than twice. He joins legendary figures like Carlo Ancelotti, Bob Paisley, Zinedine Zidane, and Pep Guardiola in this exclusive club, having secured his third title with Paris Saint-Germain. This latest victory follows his previous triumphs in 2015 and 2025.

An emotional Enrique reflected on the win, stating, "It's incredible. I think we deserved to win today, although our opponent also deserved it. But the way we played all season is proof of why we won." He acknowledged the role of luck in penalty shootouts but emphasized his team's overall performance throughout the season.

Enrique's coaching career has seen him lead Barcelona to glory in 2015 with a star-studded, attacking team. He also managed the Spanish national team. His personal life was marked by tragedy in 2019 when he lost his daughter Xana to cancer. Despite these challenges, he has also pursued personal interests, including endurance mountain biking. He has signaled his intention to stay at PSG and defend their title next season, having built a strong team in the French capital.
