VIDEO: Iker Casillas will have won back a few Madrid supporters after gesture for young fan

Class act from the legend

Darragh Murphy

In a game that ended 9-1 with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring five, it might be surprising to see Iker Casillas’ name make the headlines.

But it does so deservingly after the Madrid goalkeeper proved himself a true gentleman by giving a young supporter his jersey at half-time during the game at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The lad had been struck with a ball during the first half of action and hurt his head.

But Casillas, who has been on the receiving end of some flak from his own fans recently, made sure the little fellow was well looked after.

Gem!
