Iker Casillas hinted yesterday that he may have played his last UEFA Champions League match of his career, but a draw against Liverpool is not a bad way to bow out. The longtime Spanish national team goalkeeper currently represents Porto, with whom he did not make it to the next stage of the strongest European tournament, as they lost the first leg to the English team 5-0. The 36-year-old veteran's contract with his current team will end this summer, and we may not see him on the green field after that. "If this was my farewell to the Champions League, it was certainly not a bad one - to keep a clean sheet in this fantastic stadium... However, nobody knows what the future holds," said Casillas. "Looking back, I can be proud of what I have won in this game, and everything I have achieved. I would like to thank the fans. I spent many years in the Champions League and to come to such a stadium and receive such a warm welcome is great." "Congratulations to Real Madrid (for the victory against Paris Saint-Germain on the same evening), let's hope they go as far as possible and reach the final in Kiev." The Spaniard added that this season with Porto he still hopes to win the Portuguese championship. For now, his team leads the Primeira league table, ahead of their closest pursuer Benfica from Lisbon by five points.
