A SAD DAY FOR FOOTBALL The video making the rounds this morning is heartbreaking. Jesús de Miguel, 30, striker for CD Tenerife, has tragically passed away following a horrific collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during their Spanish Segunda División (second division) encounter yesterday being Monday. The collision happened in the closing moments of the game, leaving De Miguel unconscious on the pitch. He suffered a cardiac arrest, was rushed to hospital and, sadly, lost his life in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Today. I may not have followed his career, but no football player deserves to die like this. Beyond the goals, the rivalries and the competition, footballers are human beings, and life is far more important than the game. My thoughts are with his family, friends, teammates and everyone at CD Tenerife. Rest in peace, Jesús de Miguel. Gone far too soon. #RIPJesusDeMiguel #DEP #FootballFamily
