The true divine bald.
Wherever he put on his gloves, Pepe Reina often started. And this Thursday evening, the forty-year-old (41 years old) made history a little more, by becoming the second most capped player in the European Cup. Against Panathinaikos in the Europa League (3-2 victory), the Villarreal goalkeeper indeed signed his 189e appearance in all continental competitions. One match more than his former colleague and compatriot, Iker Casillas (188).
Having passed through FC Barcelona, Villarreal for the first time, Liverpool, Naples, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Lazio and therefore Villarreal again, Reina has accumulated the miles and, above all, will have played a minimum European season per club. Not enough to treat yourself to a cup with big ears that said, since the Spaniard was on the wrong side of history in 2007 (final lost by Liverpool against AC Milan, 1-2). Now, only Cristiano Ronaldo does better in number of matches played with 197 matches.
In ten years, we will be able to say that Pepe reigned.
Liverpool is a hit, Bayer Leverkusen continues its flawless performance
