The home of goalkeeper Pepe Reina was burgled as he helped Liverpool reach the Champions League soccer final on penalties yesterday, Merseyside Police said.The 24-year-old Spanish international, who saved two spot kicks in the semifinal shootout against Chelesea, had a number of items stolen from his home in Woolton, Liverpool.
The player's Porshe Cayenne was taken and found burnt out in Fleetwood Walk at about 0530 (local time) on Wednesday. A Bang & Olufsen entertainment system, paperwork and jewellery were also taken.
Merseyside Police were called to the address just after midnight and said the burglary happened between 6pm and 11.45pm while Reina was performing heroics at a noisy Anfield.
It is the latest footballer's home to be targeted by thieves in the city. Reina's club team mates Jerzy Dudek, Daniel Agger, Peter Crouch and Florent Sinama-Pongolle, as well as Everton's Andy Van der Meyde, were all burgled last year.
Liverpool beat Chelsea 4-1 in the shootout after a 1-0 win had left the teams level at 1-1 on aggregate following extra time. They will face AC Milan in the Champions League final in Athens on May 23.
