The death of Jesús de Miguel has plunged the entire Spanish soccer community into mourning, with matches over the next three days taking place in the shadow of this tragic event.
The 30-year-old forward lost his life after a violent collision with the opposing goalkeeper during the match between Tenerife and Andorra, and all teams will honor his memory during their upcoming matches.
Spanish soccer authorities unanimously decided to pay tribute to Jesús de Miguel, deciding that all matches will be temporarily halted in the 9th minute, and at every stadium, players from both teams will take the field wearing a special jersey bearing the number “9” and the slogan “forever in our memory.”
