Goal keeping and Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas broke down in tears yesterday Sunday July 12th as he said goodbye to Real Madrid fans during a farewell press conference. After 25 years at Real Madrid (he joined Real's youth academy in 1990), the 35 year old is moving to Porto
After
25 years of defending the crest of the greatest team in the world, the
most difficult day in my sports career has arrived: I have to say
goodbye to an institution that's given me everything. I have
come to this great stadium today to say goodbye to all of you. As of Saturday I'm no longer a Real
Madrid player, now I'll be a Porto player. I am moving to Porto for many
reasons.
'Firstly
I am joining Porto because of the excitement that the coach has
transmitted to me. Secondly, because of their affection, they have won
me over. I'll do everything I can to not disappoint them and fight as
hard as possible to win as many titles as I possibly can there.'
'This
club didn't just teach me how to be a sportsman, it taught me how to be
a person. I've learned a lot form all of my coaches. They have been a
fundamental part of my development and my career. Every day we've been
forming a part of Real Madrid and they've always supported me. I want to
say thank you to my parents and all my family.
'Thank you
to the Madrid fans for their support, helping me lift every cup, every
triumph, for being with me in the good moments and the bad moments.
Forgiving me a hand when I needed lifting up. I don't want to be
remembered as a good goalkeeper or a bad goalkeeper, I just want to be
remembered as a good person, with my faults.
'Thank you. Thank you. A thousand thank yous. Wherever I go, I will always shout Hala Madrid. I’m
sure in the future we’ll see each other. I’m not going to say goodbye,
because it’s not goodbye. I hope to see you soon. Thank you, to all of
you.'

Wow... Feel 4 iker. Wish u well. Hala madrid
We love you saint Iker. We will always love the shocks u sent down are spines with those amazing saves u made. I still remember hw you denied Robben the world cup. But the truth be told , you are no longer the force we know you as. Goalkeepers get beta wit age, but u didn't. You caused spain and madrid hurt this past year. #i think bowing out now is the best, before tins become more complicated for you
brought tears to my eyes. madrid will miss u.
This message is really straight from his heart to the club and his fans. I am touched by his words.
end of the journey
Giving the speed of news stories (football) in the time of transfers, this story is actually stale! What should be news is his mother's rant after his farewell, calling his new club 3rd tier!!
I feel you my bro. It's somehow hard to say goodbye from a sincere heart. Real men are emotional.
We will miss you. Thank you for all the wins
True legend....I hope De Gea comes to replace him as soon as possible.
Wow so touching
I still say..over valid while stock last....dey will use nd dump u .....Best to move wen d moni cums...sterling beta run na and make moni.....dats all
A sad end for a legend. Real Madrid, a club without class. Unlike Barcelona which is more than just a club. Even his Mum said Barca has class.
Mehn. Am gona miss u next season,,,,wish u well
Awwwwwww, its like leaving behind ur family.......wishing him d very best in porto
It can be emotional leaving a club u ve been in for 25 yr. if na me i for cry bood. lol
What a touching speech iker, I feel like crying as well
He's undoubtedly one of the most accomplished players ever and someone who's been directly involved in some of this club's most important moments. He's also someone who's been at the epicenter of possibly the biggest locker room discord this club has ever seen, a former hero turned villain by half the fanbase. With his move to Porto virtually done and dusted, it's bittersweet to look back fondly on a career littered with trophies but one which was a key in dividing the fanbase in its last years.
Eeeeeeeeeyah! It's not easy. Linda take note!

Awwwn..
That's so touching...
I know it is always hard to say goodbye..
But GOD is going to take you places..
Go son..
After 25years, its nobody's fault that he got old. And madrid can't keep him, due to sluggish mistakes, and they need to clear him to make way for degea
Always hard to say Goodbye! ....All The Best Man!
Aww. Wish him all best at Porto.
