    Nice try bro. Maybe u'll do some visual editing next time? It's just a compilation of clips sewn together with an annoying song over it. You even ended the video pretty abruptly, are you new to this? Keep at your craft bro, you'll do better in the future, I'm certain.

    P*ss off Chelski fan...a good day of riddance was when Jose Mourinho left. Dude was too busy making our club look like a buncha hooligans. Now, I know Chelski fans wear the "hooligan fans" reputation with pride, idealized by that wife-cheating PoS John Terry; but over here in Real Madrid we actively avoid making ourselves look like thugs. So go back to your sorry, euro comp underachieving league filled with boring football. And go give stick to your own GK legend Petr Cech, oh wait....

    Watching Casillas was a wild ride. I always laughed at how bad at penalties he was and how his shooting the ball forward would always end up at the stands. He was extremely bad at some goalie stuff but he was a miracle worker.

    The things he did as a short keeper, working with some of the worst CB pairings ever featured by RM, only a legend could pull off.

    When he had a solid run of games, there was no other like him. The guy had wings.

    When he ********ed-up, he did it royally. I'm glad he could lift La Decima with us, even though Ramos had to save his ass that night.

    I still remember that night in Glasgow, sitting behind the goal where Zidane score one of the most beautiful goals ever and then watching Iker saving our trophy like 4 times in the last 6 minutes of the game. Legend.

    One of the best goalkeepers in the history of the sport, no buts or no maybes. His name is on actual titles, he forced a person that hates Real Madrid by blood (Pique) to admit that he screamed his name in joy when he saved that Robben chance in the world cup.

    He was a wonderful player, and an icon. The end of his career was a very harsh landing, starting from his troubles with the club, his parents over money and management, and then his health issues, but his total body of work absolutely crushes almost every single goalkeeper out of his generation you might put against.

    Life changing experience. One of the most superhuman last millimeter save goalkeepers ever.

    Now if we can only convince Hazard to do the same.

    Felicidades Iker.

    I started watching football and Real Madrid at about the same time Iker was rising to prominence.

    From 2002 to 2010, Saint Iker as most fans would call him was the world's best goalkeeper. I truly felt back then that no matter how bad our defence is, Iker would somehow save the day.

    In came Mourinho and the weight of the captain armband and the downhill spiral began. Those who remember then will only know of the drama and poor string of performances. And the last thing I remember was his mess up on the set piece vs Atletico during the CL final. A very different memory in comparison of that monster performance he put on as a teenager when he came on for Cesar.

    Maybe this quote stands and im not applying that he is a villain but certainly not a hero either.

    You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

    Iker is the definition of a true legend. Very few come even close.

    Mourinho was like the KKK.

    Barca like BLM.

    Iker was like well I believe all lives matter and I certainly don't hate anyone.

    Mourinho: I'm benching you for failure to hate.


    Not sure how exactly Iker was made out to be the bad guy when all he tried to do is keep the peace and managed to win a bunch of trophies in the process.

    Absolute legend of a keeper. I watched the tribute by the official channel and some of the saves he made only Iker could do. Best keeper of his generation

    My all-time favorite goalkeeper. He may be retiring, but I'm excited to see him return home. He will definitely continue to be part of this club in some capacity. The legends never stray far from the club.

    ¡Gracias, San Iker!

    Best save I’ve ever seen was the second one here:



    Great goalkeeper, average captain.

    Look at Diarra's reaction :ROFLMAO:

    Not that D.Lopez is anywhere near Iker, but I remember he had a similar save with us too:
