At just 30 years old, his life came to a tragic end following an on-field collision.
For supporters, he was a talented footballer.
For his teammates, he was a colleague and friend.
For his family, he was something much more precious.
He was a husband and a father.
His wife and young daughter are now facing a loss that words cannot adequately describe.
No football achievement can replace the presence of a loved one.
No tribute can fully ease the pain of losing someone so important.
De Miguel spent years working toward his professional football ambitions.
He represented several Spanish clubs, including Leganés and Fuenlabrada.
His journey eventually brought him to CD Tenerife, where he became known as “Demi.”
He was still writing his football story when the tragic incident occurred against FC Andorra.
The collision with goalkeeper Jesús Owono led to a medical emergency.
Despite emergency treatment and hospitalization, De Miguel passed away the following morning.
The news devastated the football community.
Messages of sympathy and support arrived from clubs and players across Spain and beyond.
At this difficult time, his family deserves privacy, compassion, and support.
May they find strength in the memories they shared with him.
