The defender of Atletico Madrid, Marcos Llyente, took time to express his support to the family of Jesus de Miguel after the tragic death of Tenerife’s attacker, following last night’s match of the Champions’ League against Bayern Munich.

Jesus de Miguel died Tuesday morning after a cardiac-respiratory arrest and the neurological problems he had after a clash with Andorra’s goalkeeper, Jesus Oawno, during Monday’s evening match under La League 2.

His death has shaken all the world football and especially the Spanish, who have continued to pay their respects, and the last is the star of Atleticos, Llyante.

Today is a very difficult day to play. I’m here because I have to be; it’s a terrible day for the football world and the world in general. I don’t think we understand, but sports also have such situations.

I want to express my condolences to the entire family and the entire team, who must be having a very difficult time. I send them all my support and the team, the Spanish defender said.

Bayerni’s veteran goalie, Manuel Neuer, who kept the gate intact last night after winning 2-0, also paid tribute to the 30-year-old Spanish assailant.

It was a very difficult situation. I think it makes us all reflect on how, in a situation like this, something like that could actually happen. Our thoughts are with his family and Tenerifen. There’s just no word on anything like that, the German said. /Telegraphy/
