Below is the full condolence message posted by Spatz on social media:
There are moments when football ceases to have any meaning. There are moments that remain in our memories forever and make us truly realize how fragile life is. What we have experienced is something none of us will ever forget. It is a tragedy that has broken our hearts, left us speechless and brought indescribable sorrow.
First, I want to express my most sincere condolences and offer my full support to Jesús' family, friends and everyone close to him. At the same time, I extend my deepest sympathies to Tenerife fans and the entire football community.
Since yesterday, the entire FC Andorra squad has been deeply shaken and grief-stricken; everyone has been heavily affected by this incident. This is a tragedy we could never have imagined happening on a football pitch.
I also want to say a few words to my teammate, goalkeeper and friend, who has been deeply affected by what happened. Those who know him understand the kind of person he is and the immense pain he is going through right now. He would never intentionally harm anyone.
Accidents do happen in football matches, but no one could have imagined that one of them would lead to such tragic consequences.
Today, football no longer matters. All we can do is be there for those who are grieving, show the utmost respect, and offer our full support and condolences to Jesús' family and everyone suffering from this terrible loss.
Rest in peace, Demi. 💔
