Casillas Suffers Defeat In 1000th Match

Iker Casillas made his 1000th professional appearance, but the iconic goalkeeper’s milestone match ended in defeat.

Having made his debut for Real Madrid in 1999, Casillas stepped out for the 1000th time in his glittering career. It did not go according to plan, however, as Portuguese giants Porto were swept aside 2-0 by Belenenses in the league.

Casillas was helpless to deny Nathan and Maurides as Porto were left a point adrift of leaders Benfica in the Primera Liga.

At the age of 36, he is Spain’s most-capped player (167 appearances). In his illustrious career, Casillas won 5 LaLiga titles and 3 Champions League crowns among other trophies before leaving for Porto in 2015.
