Iker Casillas: 'Boos hurt my little heart'

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas reveals how it hurts him to be booed by his own fans, but says that it will not stop him from retiring with the club.

Long-standing Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has admitted that it hurts his "little heart" to be the subject of boos from the club's supporters.

The 33-year-old was subjected to jeers by the home fans in the Blancos' 2-1 defeat to Madrid rivals Atletico at the Bernabeu last month.

Casillas was linked with a move away in the summer, a primary factor in the perceived hostility, but the Spain stopper - with Real since the age of nine - says that he is keen to end his career as a one-club man.

"It hurts to hear whistles," he told Canal+. "I have been here since I was nine years old, I have done many things with this club and it has also been a springboard to the national team for me.

"The public are free to do what they want but it also hurts. Being here so long also means I have to accept certain things. Fans are demanding, I know it and accept it, but I have my little heart and it hurts when my loyalty is questioned.

"I intend to end my career at Real Madrid. I do not like to imagine my life without this club. This is my home and I feel like I was raised here."

Casillas made his Real Madrid debut in September 1999 and has since clocked 686 appearances, leaving him third in the club's all-time list.
