Real Madrid's goalkeeper Iker Casillas defended his team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo after being sent off during their game against Cordoba. Los Blancos' captain asked everyone to leave the incident behind, because everyone in the team will suport the Portuguese striker no matter what happens.
"It's not easy being Cristiano, always pressured, always having to deal with the spotlight, with the cameras. We support him 100%. When he was sent off, he showed remorse for what he had done. We know Cristiano and we stand by the player who is always trying to get better, what's done is done, and he will have to pay with two games away from the pitch and that's it," Casillas stated.
After a complicated month, the shot-stopper believes the team can recover their previous form, which led them to win 22 consecutive games. Furthermore, Casillas believes they can re-validate their UEFA Champions League title, hoping to add another La Liga title to their trophy case.
"We are quite confident we can do a great job in both competitions. We will fight until the end. Every team in Europe wants to win the Champions League, and we will try to win it again while keeping an eye on La Liga, where we know that Barcelona and Atletico will make it hard for us," the player added.
Finally, the 2010 World Cup winner with Spain talked about Arda Turan's shoe incident, trying not to be so hard on his judgement.
"It's a gesture that you shouldn't see in a football field. The only thing I can say is that his aim is a little off," he ended.
