Despite being focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 clash against Brest, Luis Enrique couldn’t hide his lingering passion for FC Barcelona.
The Spanish coach was seen celebrating the Catalan side’s crucial victory over Real Madrid, which officially secured the 2026 La Liga title for Barça.
Following his post-match press conference for the PSG-Brest game, Enrique asked a reporter about the El Clasico result. Upon learning that Barcelona had won 2-0, he couldn’t mask his delight. The manager celebrated with a fist pump and the phrase “That’s the one!” (¡Ese es!), proving that his emotional bond with the Blaugrana remains as strong as ever.

A Deep Connection to Catalonia:
-
As a Player: Though he represented both Real Madrid and Barcelona, Enrique has always maintained that his heart belongs to Barça.
-
As a Manager: He famously led the club to a historic Treble in 2015, winning a total of 9 trophies during his tenure between 2014 and 2017.
Future Outlook
Spanish media reports suggest that Luis Enrique is the “chosen one” to eventually succeed Hansi Flick. Whether in 2027 or 2028, a return to the Camp Nou seems increasingly likely for the man who remains Barcelona’s most vocal supporter from afar.
