Spanish player Jesús de Miguel passes away following scary mid-match collision

In shocking news, Spanish player Jesús de Miguel passed away while undergoing treatment following an on-field collision in a Spanish LaLiga 2 match on Monday. Miguel played as a forward for the club Tenerife.

The visuals showed Miguel chasing a loose ball but failed to see the barging FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono. The goalkeeper missed the ball and crashed into Miguel in one horrific collision. Owono was shown a red card for his reckless and unwanted challenge, but he rushed to Miguel despite receiving the marching orders. The medical team was summoned, and Miguel was taken away on a stretcher. Though the challenge looked scary, it was not expected to be life-threatening.

CD Tenerife said in a statement, as per ESPN: "Broken with pain, with a lump in our throat and unable to believe that this is true, from CD Tenerife we announce the tragic passing of Jesús de Miguel Alameda this Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m.

"There are no words of comfort; there is absolutely nothing that can ease this profound sense of sadness. We stand with his devastated family, with his loved ones, and with the entire Tenerife football community, who today mourn this cruel turn of events.

"The family of Jesús de Miguel would like to thank everyone for their expressions of support and, from the bottom of their hearts, ask that their privacy be respected at this terrible time."

It is said that Miguel was hit on the head during the collision, and his health deteriorated neurologically, which led to his death. Meanwhile, the footage of the collision is going viral on social media.
