We’ll cheat a bit here and take into consideration two of Casillas’s saves against Sevilla in the league during the 2009/10 season. Real were already trailing 1-0 on the night and a second goal would have probably killed the tie. With hardly a minute or so left for half-time, Sevilla won the ball in midfield and attacked down the left-flank with Perotti.

His cross was met with a thunderous header by Renato, with Casillas pulling off a miraculous save to prevent it from going in and Madrid going into the break with only a one goal deficit. Immediately after the restart, Sevilla would attack down the flanks again, and a ball across the box found the goal gaping wide open and presenting an easy tap-in opportunity.

But Casillas would again deny the hosts, making a desperate dive to prevent what would have surely been a second goal. Madrid would go on to lose the game 2-1, but those 2 saves will live on in memory for a long time to come.
