Mourinho Reacts to De Miguel's Tragic Death After Collision
Jose Mourinho, the coach of Real Madrid, described the death of Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel as “shocking.” De Miguel, aged 30, died following a heavy collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during a Spanish second division match, which was abandoned. He was put in intensive care after suffering cardiac arrest but unfortunately passed away the next day.
In response to this tragedy, Real Madrid held a minute’s silence before training. Mourinho expressed condolences to De Miguel's family and friends, acknowledging the impact of the incident on the football community and particularly on Owono, who was sent off after the collision.
Real Madrid is set to face AEK Athens in the Champions League, with Mourinho confirming that winger Vinicius Junior would start despite a domestic suspension. He praised the depth of talent in his squad, including players like Yan Diomande, Brahim Diaz, Arda Guler, Endrick, Kylian Mbappe, and Jude Bellingham.
