The Legends museum, The Home of Football presented by LaLiga, has opened its doors in Madrid to host the exhibition 'Casillas: the legacy of a legend'. The exhibition, available until the end of August, offers a detailed journey through the career of goalkeeper Iker Casillas, showcasing key pieces from his time at Real Madrid and with the Spanish national team.

The exhibition brings together a collection of historic jerseys, gloves, boots, balls, armbands, medals, and trophies that document Casillas's most significant milestones. Among the highlighted items is the jersey from the 2011-12 season, when Real Madrid won the league title with a record 100 points. The former goalkeeper himself recalled that campaign as a "decisive turning point" that paved the way for winning the 'La Décima' Champions League.

Casillas also evoked memorable moments such as the 2002 Champions League final in Glasgow, where he made a notable appearance after César Sánchez's injury. The former goalkeeper shared anecdotes about his preparation and his peculiar habit of cutting the sleeves off his jerseys, a detail that became his personal trademark.

During the presentation, the former footballer reflected on his development since joining the first team at 18 years old and the influence of goalkeeping role models such as Luis Miguel Arconada, Paco Buyo, Bodo Illgner, Andoni Zubizarreta, and Abel Resino. He also mentioned Gianluigi Buffon as a colleague and international reference with whom he shared years of mutual admiration and rivalry.

Addressing his retirement, Casillas defined it as the "law of life" and expressed his admiration for the longevity of goalkeepers like Manuel Neuer. He reflected on the value of defeats and the titles won throughout his career, including the World Cup and the European Championship, and how these achievements fulfilled his childhood dreams inspired by figures like Dunga.

The exhibition also features an interactive element: a book where visitors can leave messages and memories. As highlighted by LaLiga, this initiative aims to transform the showcase into a "living space of tribute, memory, and connection" between the player and his fans.
