away at 8am local time.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest in the ambulance on the way to hospital and was resuscitated by paramedics before being admitted to intensive care, where he could not be saved.<\/p>\n<p>Spanish police have opened a \u201cmanslaughter\u201d investigation, which will be conducted under judicial supervision.<\/p>\n<p>Owono, who is expected to avoid

respect for de Miguel.<\/p>\n<p>A sombre minute\u2019s silence was held prior to all Champions League matches in tribute to de Miguel.<\/p>\n<p>The poignant silence here was also held to remember the
