Fans quickly went wild over the snap, with one commenting: ‘If Luis Enrique has 1,000,000 fans, I’m one of them.

Prior to his time as national team coach he managed Barcelona between 2014-2017 before he was in charge of Celta, Roma and Barcelona B
The Spaniard is in charge of his second major international tournament after taking the national side to the semi-finals in Euro 2020 before losing to Italy on penalties.
Before his time as Spain gaffer he had previously coached Barcelona, Celta, Roma and Barcelona B.
His most successful time as manager came at Barcelona, where he won the Champions League and two La Liga trophies.
When he was a player he played for both Barcelona between 1996-2004 and Real Madrid from 1991-1996.
But since his time as a player he has remained in impeccable shape, which he demonstrated while he was topless on his Instagram feed.
Fans on Instagram were quick to praise the manager, with many saying they had ‘fallen in love’ with the footballer
However his life hasn’t been without tragedy. In August 2019, he announced the death of his nine-year-old daughter after five-month battle with cancer.
‘Our daughter Xana has passed away this afternoon at the age of nine, after fighting for five intense months against osteosarcoma,’ the former Barcelona manager’s message on social media in August 2019 read.
‘We will miss you very much, but we will [be reminded of] you every day of our lives in the hope that in the future we will meet again.
‘You will be the star that guides our family. We appreciate the discretion and understanding.’

In a devastating display they thrashed Costa Rica 7-0 in their opening game, with goals from Olmo, Asensio, F Torres (x2), Gavi, Soler and Morata.
Spain are the third joint favourites to win the competition outright – tied with England at 7/1.
Their next game is against Germany on Sunday, who lost their opening game in a shock 2-1 defeat to Japan.
