Iker Casillas continues writing history at Real Madrid. The goalkeeper played his 600th official match with the Whites on Sunday's league clash with Athletic Bilbao. Since making his debut 13 seasons ago, Iker has won two Champions League titles, two Intercontinental Cups, one European Super Cup, four league championships, one Copa del Rey and three Spanish Super Cups.

Casillas made his official debut against Athletic at San Mames on 12 September 1999, and he's since become a legendary Madridista in his own right. He'll soon overtake Hierro and Gento on the ranking of appearances with the team and he's slowly, but steadily, approaching Raul's record 741 games. Casillas is the first goalkeeper in the history of the club to play so many games with the team.

Sanchis 709 
Santillana 645 
Gento 602 
Hierro 601 
Casillas 599 

Iker is the fifth Madridista with the most league appearances (439). He's played 118 games in the Champions League, 27 in the Copa del Rey, nine in the Spanish Super Cup, three in the Club World Cup, two in the Intercontinental Cup and another two in the European Super Cup. He has also won all these championships save for the Club World Cup.

His record appearances in one season were the 55 games he played in the 2002/03 campaign. At 31, and having recently received a fourth straight IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper award, Casillas has yet plenty of time to break many more records at the club.

Casillas' magnificent work at Real Madrid has been extended to the Spanish national team. He is the most capped Spanish player (127 appearances) and is leading the team in its years of glory, during which it has so far won the Euro 2008 and 2010 World Cup titles.
