Iker Casillas – a man of class

Real Madrid’s match against Granada on Sunday was dominated by one man – Cristiano Ronaldo. The 30-year-old striker scored as many as 5 goals in a 9-1 demolition at the Santiago Bernabeu as the Whites continue their chase to the top spot against Barcelona.

However, apart from Ronaldo, Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas was also at the receiving end of appreciation from the supporters, but not for his saves, but his kind gesture towards a young fan who was hit in the head by a ball in the first half of the match.

Casillas can be first seen pointing towards the fan in this video, urging the medical staff to take a look at the incident. And, then he would go on to present the young kid his jersey at the end of the game.
