Napoli keeper Reina: I sleep in Balotelli's shirt

Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina is proud of his spotkick save against AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli. It was the first penalty Balotelli had seen saved in his career.

"I wear very special pyjamas now," Reina told Onda Cero.

"It is made up of the Milan shirt Balotelli was wearing when I saved his penalty and some Napoli shorts.

"After saving the penalty, I couldn't resist asking him for his jersey, as it was an historic event. He gave it to me and I brought it here to create an unusual pyjama kit."
