After the game, PSG players and staff celebrated on the pitch.
Supporters who travelled to the Allianz Arena then unveiled a tifo depicting Enrique and his late daughter, Xana, who died of osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.
Real, who were the defending champions, referenced Enrique's late daughter and congratulated his team on their success in a classy social media post.
On X, the club wrote: "Congratulations to @PSG_inside and their fans for their well-deserved Champions League 2024-2025 triumph. And our most special congratulations to our beloved Luis Enrique, with a heartfelt and affectionate memory for his daughter Xana."
Speaking after his side's victory, Enrique shared his thoughts on the emotional tifo: "It was very emotional with the banner from the fans for my family. But I always think about my daughter."
On the result, he added: "Since day one, I said I wanted to win important trophies. Paris had never won the Champions League.
"We did it for the first time. It’s a great feeling to make many people happy.
"We had a great start to the game, dominating from the beginning. But I wanted them to keep pushing, scoring, to ensure we won the game."
PSG end the season having won an impressive quadruple.
They won the Ligue 1 title, two domestic cups and, of course, the Champions League.
