Nightmare For Reina As Spain Thumped By Argentina

Pepe Reina suffered a nightmare
while playing for Spain in a
friendly against Argentina in
Buenos Aires.
The Liverpool stopper suffered 3
goals in a matter of 24 minutes
with Lionel Messi opening the
score in the 10th minute with a
cheeky chip. Four minutes later
Higuain went round Reina and
was able to make it 2-0 from a
tight angle. However Reina ’s big
howler came in the 24th minute
when he slipped and Carlos
Tevez was quick to capitalise and
net home the third goal.
Pepe was substituted in the 2nd
half, Fernando Llorente pulled
one back in 84th minute for
Spain however Sergio Aguero
made it 4-1 in the 90th making it
Spain ’s biggest loss since August
2000
Pepe got the nod to start ahead
of Iker Castillas for the World
Champions and considering the
backlash from the Spanish Press
he might not play for Spain
again. In Pepe ’s defence the pitch
was in horrible shape and the
long flight to Buenos Aires was
probably a factor too.
Below are the 3 goals that Pepe
suffered.
Messi 10'
Higuain 14'
Tevez 34'
Y.N.W.A. Pepe
Chin up mate.
