Liverpool's goal keeper Pepe Reina with goal scorer Fernando Torres

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has backed fellow teammate Pepe Reina as the world’s best goalkeeper.

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti recently claims that Petr Cech is the finest in the world, but Torres does not see it that way.

“Like always he’s having a really good season. For me he’s now the best keeper in the world,” the striker told Liverpoolfc.tv.

“In Spain everyone knows he’s a very good keeper and in England there is no doubt he is the best. He’s played at a top level since he signed here and won many Golden Gloves – and hopefully he’ll win one more this season.

“He’s having a massive season and at Villa we won the game thanks to him. We must be really happy to have him in the team and hopefully he’ll be here for a long time.”

Torres Added: “Pepe is one of the most important players in the dressing room,” he said. “After Stevie and Carra, I think he’s the most important. He’s always happy round the place – not just on the pitch but in the dressing room.

“When you see Pepe he is always happy and trying to be positive. He is a really good professional.”
