In 1999, Iker Casillas's career, which began, reached the last page of the book - the goalkeeper who did not play football for a year officially confirmed the end of his career. The 39-year-old Spanish football legend had to retire from football due to heart problems that struck him last spring. It was already clear then that the Spaniard would not be able to continue his career. However, I. Casillas did not rush to announce this and made the final decision only today. I. Casillas has been playing for "Porto" club since 2015. Before that, he spent his entire career at Madrid's "Real" club, where he played as a child. The Spaniard, titled one of the best goalkeepers in history, played a total of 1052 matches during his professional career. With "Real," I. Casillas became the Spanish champion five times and the UEFA Champions League winner three times. As a goalkeeper for the Spanish national team, he won the European Championship twice and the World Championship once. Having won a total of 27 titles throughout his career, I. Casillas will not escape from football - it is reported that he will return to Madrid's "Real" and work as an advisor to Florentino Perez.
Lo importante es el camino que recorres y la gente que te acompaña, no el destino al que te lleva, porque eso con trabajo y esfuerzo, llega solo y creo que puedo decir, sin dudar, que ha sido el camino y el destino soñado #Grac1as pic.twitter.com/xb8ucs9REh - Iker Casillas (@IkerCasillas) August 4, 2020
