Thousands gathered at Tenerife's stadium on Saturday to pay their final respects to striker Jesus de Miguel, who tragically passed away at the age of 30 after suffering a cardiac arrest following a collision during a match. De Miguel collided with Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono on Monday and was taken to intensive care. Spanish second-division club Tenerife confirmed his death on Tuesday morning. A massive banner displaying his black-and-white photograph and the words 'Forever Demi' hung behind a central pitch stage at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez. Following a video showing footage of his Tenerife debut, fans chanted: 'De Miguel, we love you'. Players sat beside representatives from all clubs in Spain's top two divisions, including Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueno, as tears fell in the stands.
