Raphinha mourns late Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel

Barcelona captain Raphinha has paid tribute to Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel following the forward's tragic death. The 30-year-old midfielder passed away after suffering cardiac arrest during a match against FC Andorra. Raphinha, who scored twice in Barcelona's Champions League victory over Aston Villa, dedicated the win to De Miguel's family.
