Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says Pepe Reina can become one of the club's greatest goalkeepers.

"People don't realise how good Pepe is," Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"If you ask me about Clemence I will tell you he was a fantastic goalkeeper and a legend. I think in the future people will know just how good Pepe is as a goalkeeper.

"He gives the team a lot of confidence and don't forget he is a young player so I think he can still improve."

Kop legend Bruce Grobbelaar this week even went as far as claiming Reina could score a goal himself one day from his own penalty area, and Benitez said: "It depends on the type of pitch. If it's a hard pitch maybe because his accuracy is very good."
