Casillas is largely thought as one of the greatest shot stopper's of all time, famously producing a jaw-dropping save against Holland forward Arjen Robben in the 2010 World Cup final.

A Champions League winner aged 19, Casillas was immovable as the Real Madrid number one for over a decade. Captain of the national side, Casillas was vital to Spain's victories at the European Championships of '08 and '12, as well as the World Cup win in 2010, the first time in history Spain has won on the greatest stage of all.

Many people believe that Casillas was a more skilled keeper than Buffon in his prime, but his consistency declined rapidly after 2012. Now seeing out the autumn of his playing days at Porto, he has not been able to keep up his world-class performances that he regularly produced earlier in his career.
