Luis Enrique lets himself go during Barcelona cup celebrations
Luis Enrique is usually a reserved man. The Asturian prefers to keep his emotions and feelings for his private life. However, Barcelona's Copa del Rey final win, and the club's seventh double in their history, allowed him to release some of those emotions. The joy and naturalness with which the kids of Barcelona players skipped over the turf was contagious.
The Asturian uncovered his Cule passion. Ahead of the final, when he came out onto the pitch to check the state of the grass, he was seen singing the Barcelona anthem, while saluting the fans who were starting to fill the stands.
When referee Carlos del Cerro Grande blew for the end of the game, he rushed onto the pitch to hug his players, his champions.
One by one, each of the squad got a hug. One of the most emotional was for Leo Messi. By contrast, nobody could escape the relative coldness with which he saluted Marc Bartra, who had been cut from the squad.
Without putting down his miniature cup that he had in his hands, Lucho put his daughter Xana on his shoulders, the youngest of his three children, and sang, jumped and danced as if his life depended on it.
Used to Lucho's rougher side, Barcelona fans enjoyed this new version of their coach. Hours later, he posted on his social media accounts, "another for the house" he wrote, with a picture of the cup. That's seven out of nine trophies he's won while Barcelona manager.
