Records
Casillas's trophy cabinet is extraordinary: he is one of only a handful of players to have captained a team to World Cup, European Championship, and Champions League glory. He won the IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper award five times, a feat matched only by Buffon and Neuer. His six consecutive UEFA Team of the Year selections and five FIFPro World XI nods are records for a goalkeeper. He holds the all-time record for most Champions League appearances (177) and most clean sheets for Spain. His 1,000-plus professional matches place him among the most durable players in football history.
