Over four years have passed since the former winger tragically passed away following a car crash in southern Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Reyes was just 35 when his car overturned and burst into flames in June 2019. He and his cousin Jonathan died, while another cousin Juan Manuel Calderon suffered severe burns while trying to save the pair.<\/p>\n<p>Reyes served Arsenal and Sevilla with distinction, making 360 appearances between both clubs. Tonight will be the first competitive meeting between the teams since 2007 and the first since his passing.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta visited a memorial dedicated to Reyes at Sevilla&#8217;s Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium on Monday. It promises to be a poignant evening as two teams come together to remember one of their former heroes.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>FA urged to change law after Arsenal&#8217;s dramatic comeback against Chelsea<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Reyes&#8217; son plays for Madrid<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Only last week was it announced that Reyes&#8217; son, Jose Antonio Reyes Jr, had signed for Real Madrid. The 16-year-old revealed the news on his personal Instagram page.<\/p>\n<p>He has followed in his father&#8217;s footsteps, as he also had a loan spell at Real for the 2006\/07 season. Reyes has already made his debut for Los Blancos in a youth game, posting in-match pictures on a recent post.<\/p>\n<p>Upon signing for Real, he wrote: &#8220;It is a very special moment for me I have signed my first professional contract with Real Madrid and I want to thank the club for its trust and my family for its daily support.
