Threats and racist insults, Owono closes social media

Overwhelmed by racist threats and insults, Jesus Owono, goalkeeper of the Andorra team who caused the death of Jesus de Miguel, Tenerife striker, closed his Instagram account.

The Spanish police have opened an investigation into possible manslaughter. The player, who until yesterday morning had over 30,000 followers on Instagram, subsequently deactivated his account.

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho expressed his condolences for the incident, speaking of a "really very difficult moment" for Owono. "I think it's a shocking event for everyone, let alone for the world of football, for people like us who take to the pitch every day to compete - said the Portuguese - It's a tough, sad situation.

Obviously, our thoughts and our closeness go to the family and friends of the missing player; I also believe that this must be an extremely difficult moment also for the other player (Owono, ed.) involved in the affair."
