Moreno could not hold back the tears


Reyes became a club legend at Sevilla, where he was team-mates with Moreno between 2012 and 2014.


Tottenham substitute Fernando Llorente also appeared teary as the Wanda Metropolitano paid tribute to the former Spain striker.


Llorente also played with his compatriot at Sevilla, between 2015 and 2016.











The La Liga side, where Reyes began his career, tweeted the news on Saturday afternoon, saying: “We couldn’t be confirming worse news. Beloved Sevilla star José Antonio Reyes has died in a traffic collision. Rest in peace.”


He was a member of the ‘Invincible’ Arsenal side that remained unbeaten for the 2003/04 season and eventually moved back to Spain, initially on loan to Real Madrid in 2006, before joining Atletico Madrid permanently in 2007.


A statement from Arsenal read: “Everyone at Arsenal is devastated by the shocking news that our former player Jose Antonio Reyes has died in a traffic collision in Spain.




Llorente was also visibly moved

“Rest in peace, Jose.”
