However, Santa Cruz de Tenerife chief prosecutor José Luis Sánchez Jáuregui stated that criminal charges are statistically unlikely given that the incident occurred during a competitive sporting duel. Meanwhile, FC Andorra owner and former Barcelona star Gerard Piqué, alongside football icons Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, expressed deep sorrow and offered condolences. Tributes were held across European Champions League fixtures, with clubs omitting anthems and observing moments of silence. In the wake of the tragedy, goalkeeper Owono deactivated his Instagram account amid online abuse, while a lower-division player suffered misplaced racist backlash due to a case of mistaken identity.
