Iker Casillas Spain kit
Iker Casillas is a Spanish goalkeeper who currently plays for Real Madrid in La Liga. The goalkeeper is a product of the club's youth system and began his time at the club in 1990 at the age of nine. In 1996 at the tender age of 16, he was called up to the first team for the Champions League match against Rosenborg. He failed to play on this occasion but his Madrid senior debut arrived during the 1998/99 campaign. By the following season he had become the established first choice and in 2000 Casillas became the youngest goalkeeper to play in the Champions League final just four days after his 19th birthday.
In 2001/02, Casillas lost his place to back up Cesar Sanchez following a patch of bad form. However, he was required to come on in the Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen following an injury to Cesar. Casillas pulled off a number of fantastic saves to deny Leverkusen an equaliser for his second Champions League medal. Ever since, the player has kept the number one jersey during several successful eras at Madrid.
It comes as no surprise that Casillas has been the mainstay in goal for the Spanish national team throughout the past decade. The 28-year-old currently has 101 caps for the national team and made his debut at the age of 19 against Sweden. Despite playing in a team with talent strewn all over the pitch, Casillas only has one international honour to his name. That is the 2008 European Championships which Spain won under his captaincy. He will be hoping to win the nation's first World Cup when the squad travel to South Africa in June 2010.
