'A void that is impossible to fill' - tributes paid at De Miguel funeral

Jesus de Miguel's family said "the mark he has left on so many people" is something they will always remember as the footballer's funeral took place on Thursday. The Tenerife forward, who was 30, died after suffering a serious injury during a Spanish second division match on Monday.

After colliding with the FC Andorra goalkeeper, De Miguel lay motionless on the pitch while being treated by medical staff and was taken to hospital, where the father-of-one died at 07:00 GMT on Tuesday. Tributes have been paid to De Miguel, who joined Tenerife in the summer of 2025, with a minute's silence being held at all games in European competitions this week.

His agent, Manuel Hernandez, issued a statement on behalf of the family, which read: "Thank you for loving him, for remembering him and for being with us. "We cannot find enough words to thank you for every message, every phone call and every gesture of affection we are receiving.
