Las Palmas pay emotional tribute to Jesús de Miguel

Las Palmas captain Kirian Rodríguez wore a combined armband of both Canary Islands clubs to honour Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel, who died recently.

Las Palmas paid an emotional tribute to Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel during their match against Eldense at the Gran Canaria stadium. Captain Kirian Rodríguez, himself from Tenerife, wore a specially designed captain's armband that merged the colours and crests of both Canary Islands clubs, united by an image of de Miguel celebrating a goal, with the words "Always in our memory".

The club also wore their third kit, a white and blue shirt that carries Tenerife's distinctive colours, a choice that sparked controversy earlier in the summer but has now become a symbol of unity between the rivals. Las Palmas made the decision to wear it specifically to share in Tenerife's grief following de Miguel's death.

Just over 48 hours earlier, Tenerife fans had bid farewell to de Miguel in an emotional ceremony at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium, where Las Palmas' delegation—led by their four captains and president Miguel Ángel Ramírez—received some of the warmest applause of the evening.
