LA LIGA MATCHES TO HOLD A MINUTE SILENCE IN HONOUR OF LUIS ENRIQUE’S DAUGHTER

All LaLiga matches this weekend will hold a minute’s silence in memory of Xana, the daughter of Luis Enrique.

The former Barcelona boss confirmed on Thursday that his daughter had died at the age of nine after a five-month battle with bone cancer.

Clubs and players from Spain and beyond offered their condolences to Luis Enrique and his family, with Barca holding their own moment of silence before training on Friday.

LaLiga has now confirmed there will be tributes prior to every match in the top two divisions this weekend in a show of support for the former Spain head coach.

Spain postponed a news conference, which had been scheduled to take place after their latest international squad was announced, as a sign of “love and respect” for the grieving family.
