Former Real Madrid C.F. Captain, Iker Casillas, says he’s gay. Former FC Barcelona Captain, Carles Puyol, replies him that ‘it is time to tell our story’ with love emojis and kisses.
Legendary Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas appeared to come out as gay on social media before deleting his tweet.
The 41-year-old made the announcement on Sunday, writing: “I hope you respect me: I’m gay. #HappySunday”.
Casillas is renowned as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all-time and was part of the Spain side that won three successive major tournaments across Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012, earning 167 caps for the national side.
Carles Puyol, the former Barcelona captain who played alongside Casillas in the first of those two triumphs, tweeted in reply: “It’s time to tell our story, Iker”.
However, both Casillas’ initial message and Puyol’s response has now been taken down.
Casillas, who retired in 2020, spent the majority of his club career at Real Madrid, winning the Champions League three times and LaLiga on five occasions.
