Jesús Navas remembers Puerta y Reyes when receiving the Relay award

Jesus Navasplayer of the Sevilla FChas been one of the winners at the first gala of the Relay x Challenge Awards. An event that does not focus its attention on honoring athletes for their achievements in the sporting field, but rather goes much further. This award recognizes those clubs, associations or people who have become an example to follow by transmitting certain values ​​that help improve society.

The trophy of the so-called ‘Calle 5’ was for an athlete who has had a impeccable track record and it could not be other than Jesús Navas. The Sevilla player, who announced that he would hang up his boots at the end of December, has become a legend for the white and red club. This is not only due to his record, but also to the feeling he has always shown for this team. Navas has not only been an example in the Nervionense team, but also with the Spanish team. In fact, he is the only player who has managed to win four titles with Spain: a World Cup (2010), two European Championships (2012 and 2024) and a UEFA Nations League (2023).

Soon he will have to say goodbye as a footballer to what has been his home for practically his entire sporting career. And that is why Relevo wanted to pay tribute to the Sevilla player. Navas has always shown himself to be a very humble person and in his speech he could not be less. The player could not help but mention Puerta and Reyes, two teammates who were with him during his beginnings. «Relevo not only looks at the sporting aspect, but also at the human side. I wanted to remember in these moments José Antonio Reyes and Antonio Puerta. They have accompanied me since my beginnings and I’m sure they will be proud of me«, he thanked.
