José Antonio Reyes

José Antonio Reyes was born in Utrera in 1983 and emerged as a teenage star at Sevilla. He played for Arsenal, where he won the Premier League in the unbeaten 2003–04 season, and then for Real Madrid, before joining Atlético in 2007.

Trophies in red and white

A left-footed winger with quick feet and vision, Reyes was part of the squad that won the UEFA Europa League in 2010, and he scored in the UEFA Super Cup win over Inter in Monaco later that year. He was still at the club in the first half of 2011–12, the season that ended with another Europa League. In total he played more than 100 league games for Atlético.

Legacy

He returned to Sevilla in 2012 and won three more Europa Leagues there. In June 2019 he died in a car accident, aged 35, and minutes of silence and tributes were held across Spain, including at Atlético.
