Casillas to make 600th official appearance with Real Madrid on Sunday

-
Iker Casillas continues writing history at Real Madrid. The goalkeeper will play his 600th official match with the Whites on Sunday's league clash with Athletic Bilbao. Since making his debut 13 seasons ago, Iker has won two Champions League titles, two Intercontinental Cups, one European Super Cup, four league championships, one Copa del Rey and three Spanish Super Cups.
Casillas made his official debut against Athletic at San Mames on 12 September 1999, and he's since become a legendary Madridista in his own right. He'll soon overtake Hierro and Gento on the ranking of appearances with the team and he's slowly, but steadily, approaching Raul's record 741 games. Casillas is the first goalkeeper in the history of the club to play so many games with the team.
