5 Real Madrid stars who were national team legends

#5 Iker Casillas

For Spain, he was incredibly impressive, where he won a World Cup and two European Championships

The official Real Madrid website hail Iker Casillas as ‘the best goalkeeper in our history’ – not bad praise. It’s easy to see why because he was an invaluable player to the club, recording a mind-blowing 725 official appearances as well as winning 19 titles.

Among his haul of silverware includes five La Liga titles and four Spanish Super Cups – he even recorded 15 clean sheets in three different seasons for Los Blancos.

For Spain, he was incredibly impressive, too, where he won a World Cup and two European Championships.

His agility, reactions, commanding aerial ability and leadership at the back were all some of his finest attributes for club and country and it’s unlikely either will see someone of his calibre and dedication between the posts for a long time to come.

Outstanding.
