Jose Manuel "Pepe" Reina Paez is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for English club Aston Villa on loan from A.C. Milan.<\/P>
The son of famed Barcelona and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Miguel Reina, Pepe Reina began his career with the Barcelona youth team and made his La Liga debut in the 2000–01 season. He signed for Villarreal in 2002, winning the UEFA Intertoto Cup twice. Reina moved on to Liverpool and made his debut in the 2005 UEFA Super Cup, which Liverpool won. He instantly became first-choice goalkeeper and went on to win both the FA Cup – where he saved three out of four West Ham United penalties in the final – and the FA Community Shield. In 2007, he reached the Champions League Final with Liverpool, matching the feat achieved by his father in 1974, but Liverpool lost to Milan.<\/P>
Following eight consecutive seasons as Liverpool's first-choice keeper, Reina spent the 2013–14 season on loan at Napoli, where he was reunited with Rafael Benitez, the coach who signed him to play for Liverpool in 2005. During his loan tenure in Naples, Reina was part of the side that won the 2014 Coppa Italia. Reina then completed a permanent move to Bayern Munich in 2014 upon returning to Napoli on a permanent deal in 2015 after having been the second-choice keeper for Bayern behind Manuel Neuer. In 2018, Reina left Napoli for Milan and 1.5 years later he completed a loan move to Aston Villa.<\/P>
At international level, Reina played for Spain's youth team, winning the UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship in 1999. He made his senior debut in 2005, and has generally been selected as the second-choice keeper behind Iker Casillas. He was part of the Spain squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and made one appearance in their victorious UEFA Euro 2008 campaign, earning him his first international honour. He was later part of the Spain squads that won their first ever World Cup in 2010 and their third UEFA European Championship in 2012, as well as featuring at the 2014 and 2018 World Cups.<\/P>
Reina has made the 4th highest number of appearances by a Spanish player in the Premier League, with more than 200 appearances in just his first five seasons, 108 of the 219 appearances being clean sheets. In the 2010–11 season, he kept his 100th Premier League clean sheet for Liverpool in a 3–0 win against Aston Villa.<\/P>","411CCFA197052F93":"Jose Manuel Reina Paez","BCB817AACBF8A2A6870B9B82788BC0CB":"3","99B9FE00554E753D0BC6E1E16DA9F791":"Lazio","2134628892B06B90":"Jose Manuel Reina Paez","EABD711929A60B526AB9CD802EC5F0A7":"1","BFA4903D06441BD5032C18CFE9B50683":"
