Pepe Reina's Dad, Miguel, will watch his son play for Liverpool tonight at Atletico Madrid.

The Liverpool keeper's father hardly ever goes to see his son play, claiming it shreds his nerves too much.

Even when the Reds reached the final two years ago, Pepe had to talk him into making the trip to Athens.

Reina senior was a keeper himself and played for Atletico in the 1974 European Cup Final, which they lost to Bayern Munich.

But Pepe said: "He is getting worse with his nerves and doesn't come too much.

"He was a keeper as well and that makes it even harder for a father, knowing exactly the sort of problems and pressure.

"But he couldn't miss this one."
