Iker Casillas is close to claiming another La Liga title with Real Madrid this evening. Here, Sports Mole focuses on his relationship with TV presenter Sara Carbonero.

Age: 28
Occupation: TV presenter
WAG of: Iker Casillas, Spain and Real Madrid captain
WAG since: July 2009

There are very few trophies that Iker Casillas has not won during his career with Real Madrid and Spain.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper looks almost certain to add to his medal haul this season as he has captained Los Blancos to within touching distance of their 32nd Spanish league title.

So, what more could a man that has won everything the game has to offer want? Well it's not a fiancée who was once voted the sexiest reporter in the world by FHM USA and knows and thing or two about football - he already has one of those!

Casillas has been dating Sara Carbonero since the summer of 2009. The pair, dubbed in their homeland as the 'Spanish Posh and Becks', are now said to be engaged after the keeper got down on one knee earlier this year.

While many footballer-WAG relationships hit the headlines for tales of infidelity and court cases (see John Terry and Toni Poole from last week) Casillas and Carbonero made front and back page news for matters on the football pitch.

Few probably remember that Spain actually lost the opening match of their victorious 2010 World Cup campaign 1-0 to Switzerland.

Carbonero was present in the stadium that evening, working for Spanish television station Telecinco. During the warm-up, Carbonero did several pieces to camera behind the goal that her other half was preparing for the match in.

Subsequently, several media outlets blamed the 28-year-old presenter for Spain's defeat, claiming that she had distracted Casillas - nothing to do with the number of chances that Spain uncharacteristically spurned on that occasion!

Carbonero was having none of that speculation and went on to ask her man live on television: "How did you muck that up?" To which he replied: "I don't know what to say." Lovers' tiff?!

Those who like a happy ending will be glad to hear it hasn't affected their relationship though, while Casillas's performance between the posts for Madrid appears to be going from strength to strength.
