Iker Casillas - Biography
Iker Casillas Fernández is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club Porto and the Spain national team as a goalkeeper. Having won the IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper Award for a record five consecutive years, Casillas is considered as one of the greatest and most successful goalkeepers of all time, placing second behind Gianluigi Buffon in both the IFFHS Best Goalkeeper of the past decade and quarter-century awards in 2010. Nicknamed "San Iker" for his ability to produce spectacular saves, he is an athletic goalkeeper, known for his quick reactions and outstanding shot-stopping ability.
Casillas has played for the Spanish national team a record 167 times, and has been an international since June 2000, making him the joint sixth-most capped male footballer in history, and the joint second-most capped European player of all time. He became the nation's first-choice goalkeeper at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and went on to play at UEFA Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup. In 2008, he was made captain, and led the team to that year's European Championship. He also led Spain to their first World Cup in 2010, and retained the European Championship in 2012. In 2014, Casillas also became one of four players to represent Spain at four World Cups.
Between 2004 and 2008, Casillas dated beauty pageant winner Eva González. Since 2009, Casillas has been in a relationship with sports journalist Sara Carbonero. Their son Martín was born on 3 January 2014 in Madrid. In November 2015, the couple announced they were expecting their second child. On 20 March 2016, the couple married. On 2 June 2016, Sara gave birth to the couple's second child, Lucas.
On 1 May 2019, during Porto's morning training session, Casillas was rushed to hospital after suffering a heart attack at the club's training ground, where his situation was stabilized. Later that evening, Casillas, whose situation had improved, published a statement on Twitter himself with a picture where he gave thumbs up and thanked for the support he had received.
