Reina urges Liverpool to rekindle spirit of Istanbul
PEPE REINA has urged his team-mates to rekindle the spirit of Istanbul when Liverpool face Chelsea in the second leg of their Champions League quarter final. Rafael Benitez masterminded a remarkable turnaround in 2005 as his Liverpool side came back from the dead to beat AC Milan in the Champions League final.Liverpool were 3-0 down at half time but stormed back to level in the second half - before triumphing on penalties to complete a stunning comeback.
Benitez's men need to score at least three goals at Stamford Bridge next week to have any chance of making the last four, but Reina says it's not mission impossible.
"I think we need to remember what happened in Istanbul," he said. "We won the final in '05 after scoring three goals in 45 minutes - so why won't we be able to score three in 90?
"This is not over - we can go to any stadium and win."
