Football comes together across Spain to honour Jesús de Miguel: ‘We’ve seen how fragile life is’

Across La Liga and beyond this weekend, footballers took to the field knowing it could have been them In the final few minutes before stepping into the arena once more, heading out for his 199th Osasuna match on Saturday evening, the man who has scored more first division goals than anyone in their history stopped his teammates for a moment and told them what it meant to wear the shirt. “This is very important,” Ante Budimir began as the dressing room, their sanctuary, fell silent around him. “We don’t have this shirt today for the sake of it. He was not chosen, and nor are we. It could have happened to anyone, anyone. Let us go knowing that we’re grateful to be on the pitch: playing, watching, warming up, sitting on the bench, whatever it may be. Boys, we were not chosen: not us, not him. Let us go, gratefully. Without thought. We have a grand day before us.” With that, Osasuna’s players turned left out of the room, where they were joined in the tunnel by footballers from Athletic Club, rivals from the north, and together they went out past the little shrine of Saint Fermin on to the field. They carried white lilies and all wore the same white shirts with a No 9 on the back, a black ribbon and the name of Jesús de Miguel, the Tenerife striker who died after a collision on the pitch five days earlier at the age of 30. At almost exactly the same time, 2,000km away to the west, Tenerife’s squad were walking out at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López in Santa Cruz. They did not have anyone alongside them, wore black suits not white shirts and did not have a game to play either, not this week. Continue reading...

MAGA castoffs plot 2028 spoiler bid

An unusual coalition wants to recruit outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie as the Libertarian Party's 2028 presidential nominee, betting that MAGA fractures can turn a third-party candidacy into a spoiler for the Republican nominee. Why it matters: Organizers see a fighter in Massie, a frequent critic of President Trump who pushed hard on releasing the Epstein files and lost a bitter primary rather than quietly walking away. Massie raised almost $10 million in the process and has a large online donor list and base. For his parting act in Congress, Massie is pushing an impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth . Driving the news: For months, Libertarian Party operatives and MAGA defectors have been privately and publicly encouraging Massie to run under a rebranded party. "Libertarian Jesus is Ron Paul, and one of our saints is Thomas Massie," Larry Sharpe, a perennial Libertarian candidate and longtime third-party operative, told Axios. Sharpe has spoken with Massie several times about a potential presidential run. Aside from playing GOP spoiler, organizers believe the Libertarian Party's existing ballot access and infrastructure could help them win 5% of the national vote — which would qualify its next presidential nominee for federal funding. Massie didn't respond to several requests for comment. The big picture: The plan is for libertarians to claim dibs on the "America First" agenda, mainly focusing on anti-war sentiment. Organizers believe they can build consensus among supporters of the MAGA wing that's closer to Tucker Carlson, former Trump official Joe Kent and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), as well as disillusioned "Make America Healthy Again" activists and populist-inclined voters on the right and left. "A party that would speak clearly about the disaster of the war in Iran, that would speak clearly about the mistake to continue to give military aid, taxpayer-funded military aid, to Israel — that would perk up a lot of ears among young peo

In moments of pain, football comes together more than ever,” said Luis de la Fuente. The Spain manager did not say much else; there was not much else he could say, not much anyone could.
