UEFA Honors CD Tenerife's Jesús de Miguel After Death
UEFA has released a statement mourning the death of CD Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel Alameda, who passed away at the age of 30 following a medical emergency during a match. De Miguel collapsed late on Monday night during a Segunda División fixture against FC Andorra, specifically in the seventh minute of stoppage time after a collision with Tenerife goalkeeper Jesús Owono, who was subsequently shown a red card.
Medical staff attended to De Miguel on the pitch for over five minutes before he was transported to the hospital. Initially described as stable, his condition deteriorated significantly, and by 8 am on Tuesday, the club confirmed his death.
The news shocked the football community, as De Miguel was a key player for CD Tenerife. In response, UEFA directed that a minute's silence be observed before every match it sanctions this week, reflecting the widespread grief across European football, with clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona paying tribute.
