Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are set to auction jerseys worn during their recent Champions League match to support a meaningful cause. The sale aims to benefit the foundation established in memory of Luis Enrique's daughter, Xana, who tragically passed away at the age of nine in 2019 after battling bone cancer.

PSG players donned jerseys emblazoned with the Xana Foundation logo during the match, with 'the entirety of the proceeds' directed to support the foundation's missions. The foundation, led by Luis Enrique, focuses on providing medical, social, and emotional aid to children facing severe illnesses and their families.

Similarly, Barcelona committed to channeling proceeds from their shirt auction to a program called Blaugrana Wristbands, which, in turn, will donate to the Xana Foundation. Luis Enrique, a former Barcelona player and coach, leads this initiative hoping to offer relief and hope to affected families.
