Iker Casillas announced that he is gay, and Puyol responded to him, but then the tweet was deleted: what happened?

"I hope they respect me: I'm gay," Iker Casillas would start the tweet, surprising all his followers at early hours on Sunday. However, Carles Puyol, friend and former teammate of the Spanish national team, would complement the thread by pointing out, "it's time to tell our story, Iker."

Initially, internet users questioned this revelation from one of the stars that formed Real Madrid in the early 2000s. It was also speculated that this is only part of a campaign.

However, minutes passed and both public figures deleted the post from their social media. It seems that everything indicates that they were hacked by individuals. At the moment, they have not yet commented on this incident that has gone around the world immediately.

It should be noted that both former athletes were champions of the 2010 World Cup after defeating the Netherlands during extra time. The goal was scored by Andrés Iniesta.
