Michael, who plays for CF Can Vidalet, expressed deep sympathy for De Miguel's family and condemned the hate, insults, and threats he has received due to his shared surname with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono. He emphasized that racism, hatred, and discrimination have no place in football or society, and he thanked those who have shown support during these difficult moments.",
