It was because of him that a moment of silence was held before the final match on the day of the final. 35-year-old Reyes was about to retire and start the second half of his life when he was killed in a car accident.

of the 'Motorcycle Boy' but now turns into an obituary.
Reyes made his debut in the Sevilla youth team and also became famous in the Sevilla first team. He was only 17 years old when he debuted in Sevilla in 2000, and at that time, he showed his talent is too much, Reyes, who is originally a left winger, is in fact an all-rounder in front of the field. Not only can he play as a left or right winger, but he can also play as a striker. His balance between his left and right feet is also very high, and he was regarded as the young ace of Spain's future generation when he first appeared on the scene.

In the market Wenger is kind of a big gamble that way.
Reyes came to London in January 2004, he was bought before the closing of the winter transfer window, and was immediately highly regarded by all parties. He scored 2 goals and 1 assist in 13 league appearances in the second half of the 03/04 season, focusing on his destructive breakthroughs on the side of the road in the game, repeatedly breaking through the opponents' defense, making him the best player in the league.
