SPANISH FOOTBALL: IKER CASILLAS ON RECORD BREAKING COURSE OF INTERNATIONAL GAMES

Ever wondered who (which player) has the most International Caps with the Spanish National Team? The answer is Andoni Zubizarreta, who was also goalkeeper of FC Barcelona.

The news is that another goalkeeper is on course (respecting injuries) to break records & almost certainly surpass the Zubizarreta milestone. Real Madrid player, current Spanish National goalkeeper & Captain IKER CASILLAS will equal tomorrow against France 2nd placed Raúl with a mark of 102 games, also current team-mate at Madrid.

Having said this, Casillas will most likely then set course to take over the all-time International games record seeing that the player is only 28 years of age & has plenty of years ahead of International games to protect the Spanish goal.

Top 15 all-time Spanish International Caps list:

1. Zubizarreta: 126 International games.
2. Raúl: 102
3. Iker Casillas: 101
4. Fernando Hierro: 89
5. Xavi Hernandez: 82
6. José Antonio Camacho: 81
7. Carles Puyol: 80
8. Gordillo: 75
9. Fernando Torres: 71
