Mourinho comforts broken goalkeeper after Jesus de Miguel’s fatal clash
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho sent a message of support to Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono after the striker Jesus de Miguel died following a collision in a Spanish second‑division match on Tuesday, 3 November 2026. Owono, 25, was sent off for the foul that left De Miguel motionless, and the Tenerife club confirmed the striker’s death early that morning.
The story appeared under the Sport section, authored by Bruna Reis at 11:59 on 4 November 2026, with a view‑image option. CD Tenerife issued a statement expressing profound grief and pleading for privacy for the family.
Reactions and investigations
Spanish outlet AS reported that Owono was crying and praying in the dressing‑room after the match was abandoned with the score at 2‑2. The Equatorial Guinea‑born goalkeeper was described as visibly shaken during his journey back to Andorra. Reports in Spain said Owono closed his social‑media accounts after receiving a flood of abusive messages. He had planned to apologise privately to De Miguel’s family before making a public statement, but the death altered those plans.

Mourinho called the episode a very, very, very difficult moment and said it was shocking for the world of football. Andorra paid tribute, sending sincere condolences to De Miguel’s family, teammates, friends and CD Tenerife. The Spanish Football Federation announced that Tuesday’s Copa del Rey and Copa de la Reina fixtures were postponed in honour of De Miguel.
Spanish police opened a routine investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter following the striker’s death. De Miguel made his professional debut for Leganes B in 2015 and joined Tenerife from Castellon on a three‑year deal in 2025. He scored 11 goals in 29 appearances to help Tenerife win promotion back to the Segunda Division.
