Iker Casillas Quotations

When we beat them there (in Barcelona) in the Champions League (in 2002) no one applauded us. If we play well and win that will be great and if we play badly and win that will be great too.

Portugal were always better than us. We're not happy. It was the most important game and we didn't rise to the occasion. Portugal were always superior.

If we lose, it will mean that Barca are practically champions. But if we win it will be a great feat, almost like being champions, and give us a big advantage over all the clubs fighting for second place.

We are going to play an important game and the moment of truth has arrived. Everyone knows just what is at stake and nobody should doubt that we are going o give it everything,

I thank Manchester for their interest but I want to remain here.

We had a bad day and we've still got another game to try and react. I think we can pull off a comeback at our stadium. We're sure to improve because today nothing went right.

We have to be realistic and think of second place in the league. The season is almost over.

There have been a lot of comings and goings which is fine if it's in the club's best interests, but so many changes cannot be good.

There have been a lot of comings and goings - so much change is not a good thing.

But no one needs to say anything to us because we are also very upset about it. Our luck will change though, we just had a tremendous amount of bad luck.

We need to forget about the Barcelona game as quickly as possible. We can't wait for Lyon to arrive so we can win and give our supporters something to cheer.

This is the revenge match for us because that 3-0 defeat hurt us because of the way it damaged our image and our fans.

It was a terrible piece of bad luck for Canizares... and I am certainly not happy because a teammate has been injured,

It means we can play with our batteries fully charged. We have rested all (northern) summer, worked well in pre-season and now we have all our strength to play at full pace.

The atmosphere was amazing. In all my years at Real Madrid I've never experienced anything like it.

Anyone who didn't see the game would think it was a mad result,

In the second half we were better and I am happy also with my own performance. We can now build from here.

The whole world knows that I am a Madridista by heart; White until the death.

I don't want to be remembered as a good goalkeeper. I want to be remembered as a great person

Most kids dream of scoring the perfect goal. I've always dreamed of stopping it.
