Dalglish Hails Reina

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has hailed goalkeeper Jose Reina as possibly the best in the world.

Reina is set to make his 300th appearance for Liverpool in Thursday' Europa League last-16 second-leg tie at home to Braga.

The 28-year-old has established himself as a key player at Anfield since arriving from Villarreal in 2005 and Dalglish is a big admirer of the Spain international.

"In my opinion Pepe Reina is one of, if not the, best keeper in the world," said Dalglish.

"I know he doesn't get in his national side, but if it's my opinion you're asking for that would be my shout.

"He has been fantastic for this football club and is a great asset to us.

"That is reflected in that if Stevie (Gerrard) or Carra (Jamie Carragher) are not playing, he is our captain."
