Reina became the fastest goalkeeper in Anfield history to reach 50 clean sheets in the league against Sunderland on Saturday. Reina achieved the record in just 92 games – three fewer than Ray Clemence.

Benitez said: "I have been talking about how good Pepe is for a very long time. For him to keep 50 clean sheets since he joined the club is a terrific performance.

"And it is a goalkeeper of Ray Clemence's quality that he has beaten. Not just any goalkeeper but one of the club's greats in Clemence. That shows how good Reina has had to be.

"But it also underlines the standard of defending. A keeper cannot have 50 clean sheets if the players in front of him are not doing their job.

"Now this is something we must repeat, another 50 cleans sheets from Pepe in the same way would be ideal for us.

"It is much easier for our strikers to score goals if they know we do not have any problems in defence."
