“A winner whose hard work is based on humility”
Iker Casillas is a legend for the Whites. A Real Madrid supporter since childhood, he fulfilled his dream of joining the club at nine years of age. From the very beginning he stood out as a very special goalkeeper. Quick reflexes, a great ability with his feet and almost unbeatable in one-on-one situations.
He was a natural-born leader at every stage of his career, both for the Whites as well as for the Spanish national team. After 725 games and 16 seasons with the first team, he has won 19 titles: 3 Champions Leagues, 1 Club World Cup, 2 Intercontinental Cups, 2 European Super Cups, 5 La Liga titles, 2 Copa del Reys and 4 Spanish Super Cups.
He played an important role during the 2008 and 2012 European Championship wins, and was one of the heroes of the tournament during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Images of the captain lifting trophies and pulling off amazing saves, like those he made in the la Novena final, will live long in the collective memory of Real Madrid fans.
