Former Real Madrid player Michel has said he thinks Iker Casillas will make his final appearance for the club this weekend against Getafe.
Los Blancos play their final game of the season against their city neighbours at the Santiago Bernabeu in a game that could see Casillas wave goodbye to the fans after 16 years between the sticks.
The captain has come under fire from some section of the Madridista support this campaign and doubts have been raised about his long term future at the club. With teh 10-time Champions League winners likely to sign David de Gea from Manchester United, it could spell the end for Casillas.
And Michel said he thinks the World Cup winner will not play for the club again after the season ends.
Speaking to Cadena SER, he stated: “I don’t know if it will be Iker’s last game but I think it will be the last one he plays for Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti is the one who chooses the team and if Casillas is selected to play his final game at the Bernabeu it will be something.
“If you look at his career it would have been tough for him to have lasted so long at such a big club without being a key player. A few days ago he faced [Gianluigi] Buffon and teams want their goalkeepers to be able to play a vital role. De Gea has convinced me as a goalkeeper and in England his work with his feet has stood out, as well as his leadership skills. If he does leave United it will be a difficult gap for them to fill.”
I bet to anyone who has a knowledge of the soccer game that Real Madrid can’t win la Liga nor the Champions League with this type of defense and goalkeeper . Real Madrid need to change or improve their game , their coaching staff lacks in vision and competency. They absolutely need a keeper like De Gea if they want to challenge Barcelona .
am a die hard fan of realmadrid and I always want the club to do well and win trophies.casillas has tried as a keeper and I think is time he should be made a legend at the club.really we need a new keeper,a striker and another midfielder to help modric and kroos.
