Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has paid tribute to Jose Antonio Reyes after the former Sevilla striker lost his life in a car accident.

Ramos travelled to Seville to attend the mortuary chapel set up for him at Sevilla's Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan before speaking to the media.

"Today is one of the saddest days we can face, not just Sevilla fans, but on a personal level," he explained.

"It's a hard blow, we still can't believe it, you can't digest it in such little time.

"The loss of Jose Antonio is a great loss for us all, he was a great friend.

"These things happen in life, it's another chapter after what happened with Antonio Puerta.

"We have to support his family however possible and show them how he was, a great person who shared a lot of affection."
