The death of Reyes shocked the football fans, but at the time, no further information was given on the accident.

Jose Antonio Reyes was the first Spanish player who won the Premier League when he played with Arsenal.

He was part of the 'Invincible', also a LaLiga winner with Real Madrid and won the Europa League three times with Sevilla.

Reyes left a wife and two children, a boy and a girl.

After the funeral, his father gave a heartbreaking interview about the death of his son.

“When we are alone all we do is cry. We do not even speak because if we say something to each other, it is about something that makes us cry.

“We cannot say things to each other because if we say or do or see something we think about how he used to say and do things.”
