A few minutes ago, Luis Enrique, former coach of Barcelona and Spain, confirmed that his daughter Xana died of Osteosarcoma. In the statement he reported that the last 5 months his daughter was fighting this cancer and that in the end, she died.

Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer. It causes the bones to become inflamed and suffer from prolonged pain. Treatment for this cancer includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, but it is quite invasive and often affects children and young people.

Luis Enrique appreciated all the discretion that was maintained during his daughter's treatment. In addition, he thanked the Sant Joan de Deu and Sant Pau hospitals for the dedication and treatment they maintained with his daughter. Although he made a special mention for the police priests of Sant Joan de Deu.

In the end, he only thanked his daughter for each day that she remained in the life of her family and that from now on she guides them from heaven. He simply says goodbye by writing "Rest Xanita, Martínez Cullell Family."
