During a presentation with one of his sponsors, Iker Casillas revealed he doesn't consider Barcelona will fight for the UEFA Champions League this season. The Spanish shot-stopper stated he believes other teams could pose a bigger threat for Los Blancos, who will try to become the first team with back-to-back titles under the current format.
"In our league I believe that Barcelona and Atletico will be the teams to beat for us.We have been doing things just right and they will be right there until the final rounds. In Europe, I think that after last year's performance, our top rivals will be Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich," Casillas said.
Regarding the upcoming Club World Cup, Real Madrid's captain stated they will go to Morocco with the intention of bringing the cup back home, since it's a trophy they have never won before.
"We want to become Champions of the world. We've had a great year so far with Real Madrid, and we can't think of a better way to end it," Los Blancos' captain added.
Asked about his National team, Casillas stated he still wants to be called up by Vicente del Bosque, since he believes his performance during the past World Cup was truly disappointing.
"I still want to make things better after what happened in Brazil. If Del Bosque wants me to be there, I would be glad to help, because representing your country is an honor. I'm trying to stay in top physical shape to be available if he needs me," the goalkeeper ended.
