Jose Luis Chilavert bids farewell to Iker Casillas

Jose Luis Chilavert, former goalkeeper of the Paraguayan National Football Team, took to his social media to bid farewell and wish the best of luck to the Spanish Iker Casillas, who officially announced his retirement from football on Tuesday.

"Always successful, dear Iker, and enjoy life with your family, a legend of world football. The Best," wrote Chilavert.

Chilavert and Iker Casillas played against each other in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. On several occasions, both expressed their mutual admiration.

Casillas is considered the best goalkeeper in the history of Real Madrid and one of the best in Spanish football.

The former international goalkeeper has had a long career at Real Madrid, where he won three European Cups. He was the captain of the Spanish national team, with whom he won the 2010 World Cup gold and two European Championships, and he finished his career at Porto. In 2020, he ran for the presidency of the Spanish Federation, but withdrew when the elections were called.
