Thousands paid their respects after Jose Antonio Reyes' coffin was brought to Sevilla's Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium on SundayFormer Arsenal winger Jose Antonio Reyes was driving at more than 135mph (220kmph) when he died in a car crash on Saturday, Spanish police have said. The Guardia Civil's investigation is ongoing and although the car exceeded Spain's speed limit (75mph/120kmph), it is not clear yet if that was the "final cause" of the incident. More than 11,000 fans paid their respects to Jose Antonio Reyes when his coffin was taken to Sevilla's Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium on Sunday. The Guardia Civil told BBC Sport that former Sevilla captain Reyes, 35, had been driving the vehicle. The five-time Europa League winner had been playing for Spanish second division side Extremadura this season.
