He's know as one of the best goalkeepers of history of football, but, do you want to know how his life changed from one day to another? How one guy like you become the best goalkeeper in the history of the Spanish national team?
From a very young age, Iker Casillas was playing in the affiliate teams of Real Madrid (he started when he was only 9 years old!). He wasn't very tall to be a goalkeeper, but he was extremely intense and smart on the pitch, so that made him a very interesting player.
The most interesting part of this story starts when he was 16. Casillas was studying in the High School of Mostoles and, while he was at class, the president of Real Madrid C.F. called to the main of the High School to ask if Iker Casillas could come with Real Madrid Team where they have to travel to Norway to plat the Champions League, the most important tournament in Europe in the world of football.
So, in the middle of Chemistry class, Iker Casillas had to run to the Airport with his High School uniform, the football shoes that his mother took and their keeper gloves to travel with the 1st team with players like Morientes, Zidane or Raúl (they are actually legends of the team). Finally he didn´t play that game in Norway, but the story of this young guy started to be writting here, in the middle of a class of Chemistry.
Here, in this link you can find some of the greatest saves by this legend, I hope that you can enjoy this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKUo8ngG7Js
