Luis Enrique shocked the footballing world when he announced his decision to step down as Barcelona manager after the 6-1 victory against Sporting Gijon. Undoubtedly one of the greatest Barcelona managers of all time, the Asturian has incredibly won 8 out of the 10 trophies he has competed so far and he will be keen to finish on a winning note.

With the La Liga title race set to go down to the wire, a Champions League final will definitely add an extra dimension to the Clasico rivalry under Enrique and Zidane. Not the best of friends during their playing days, both of them will be keen to get the better of the other.
