Jesus de Miguel, a striker for Tenerife, is laid to rest in Spain at a funeral attended by family and teammates, with reports describing a particularly emotional service. Several outlets say teammates carry his coffin as the football community gathers to pay respects.
Coverage places the mourning in different locations within Spain and highlights who is present. The Mirror reports the funeral takes place in Toledo, central Spain, while BBC News also focuses on the family’s response, quoting them thanking supporters and reflecting on the mark he leaves behind. Channel NewsAsia likewise frames the event around family and teammates mourning De Miguel.
Other outlets broaden the list of attendees. The Athletic says Spain manager Luis de la Fuente and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez attend and are among those paying respects, adding prominence beyond the club. Overall, the reports largely agree on the nature of the gathering—family, teammates, and wider football figures commemorating the Tenerife striker—while differing in the specific officials mentioned and the emphasis placed on the family’s statements.
