The documentary, which has caught the attention of football fans and critics alike, presents Luis Enrique in a more intimate and vulnerable light. In previous episodes, he discussed his role as a coach, featuring personal conversations with Mbappe and scenes in the dressing room, which generated mixed reactions among fans.
But this latest episode shed light on her personal life and how she coped with her daughter's death, 'Can I call myself lucky or unlucky? I consider myself very lucky. My daughter Sana spent 9 beautiful years with us. We have thousands of memories of him, videos, incredible stuff. My mother could not keep any picture of Sana. Until I returned home and said, Mom, why is there no picture of Sana? He said, I can't, I can't…. I said, mom, you have to keep Sana's picture, Sana is alive. He is not here physically, but he is with us spiritually. Because we talk, smile and remember him every day.'
'I think Sana still sees us. I want Sana to think how we got through this time,' concluded the former midfielder emotionally.
The series gives glimpses into Koch's professional life as well as his story of courage and dignity in the face of personal adversity. The pictures shown of Sana reflect the joy she gave, which Luis Enrique keeps alive in his memory.
In August 2019, Sana, the youngest daughter of Luis Enrique, the daughter of current PSG coach and his wife Elena Coulelle, died of osteosarcoma, a type of cancer that affects bones and is particularly common in children.

Suffering from the disease forced Sana Luis Enrique to step down as coach of the Spain national team, which was then handed over to his assistant Robert Moreno. Sana's illness first became apparent on 26 March, when Luis Enrique suddenly left La Rosa's camp ahead of a Euro 2020 qualifier against Malta. Three months later, on 19 June, the coach resigned from his position in a message, in which he thanked the federation, players, staff and media for their behavior over the past few months, without elaborating.
While coaching Spain at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Luis Enrique remembered his daughter Sanita in an emotional message on Instagram, on what would have been her 13th birthday. That particular day was the day of the group stage match against Germany. In the message, along with a video titled 'We Miss You', he sent love and wishes to his daughter.
