Meanwhile, in France, Luis Enrique delivered one of the day’s most talked-about moments. The Asturian coach had just led his PSG side to a 1-0 victory over Brest when journalist Dounia Mesli captured him inquiring about the Clásico result between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Upon hearing the 2-0 Blaugrana win, his reaction was immediate and expressive.
“Toma!” he exclaimed, raising his fist in celebration—a scene that quickly went viral on social media, interpreted by many fans as a clear sign of his emotional bond with Barça. The current PSG manager’s reaction did not go unnoticed, given his deep Azulgrana past. Luis Enrique wore the FC Barcelona shirt as a player from 1996 to 2004, becoming one of the most beloved figures among Culés after his controversial previous stint at Real Madrid. Years later, he also triumphed as Barcelona’s coach, winning the historic treble in 2015 and leaving an indelible mark on the club’s recent history.
Currently, Luis Enrique is enjoying a strong period at PSG, where he has built a competitive, distinctive team under his guidance. The Asturian feels comfortable in Paris and has publicly expressed his happiness with the project he leads for the French club. Yet his connection with FC Barcelona remains powerful, and he has never hidden the special affection he holds for the Blaugrana side, even leaving the door open for a possible return in the future.
