Sevilla midfielder Jesus Navas admits he's struggling to cope with the death of Jose Antonio Reyes.

The former Sevilla striker lost his life in a car accident.

"It's hit me really hard. I spoke a lot with him, with his family. It's been really tough," Navas said at Reyes' wake at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

"I've been through so many things with him that are going to make this much harder to sink in. I was very close with his family... I don't know what to say.

"I always watched him to get better, it was incredible to train and play with him. We've been through so much, we roomed together, family moments...

"He was always there if you needed something. He called me 'my kid'. All the youngster watched him. He had it all."
