Iker Casillas was one of the greatest goalkeepers of his generation, a reflex shot-stopper whose lightning saves earned him the nickname of the saint. A product of Real Madrid’s academy, he became the club’s long-serving captain and a Champions League winner, defining the position for a decade.
For Spain he was the goalkeeper and captain of the golden side that won the 2010 World Cup and the European Championships either side of it, a run of dominance unmatched in the modern game. He later played for Porto in Portugal, revered as a symbol of Spanish football’s finest era.
