" My save from Robben's shot was luck"
Iker Casillas, one Spain's heroes at the World Cup 2010, talked about the final against the Netherlands and how his save was decisive but also a little fortunate.
This Sunday, a new edition of the World Cup kicks off in Qatar. Spanish fans want to relive that 2010 when 'La Roja' became eternal in South Africa.
There are many images that remain in the memory. Two in particular: Iniesta's goal and Iker Casillas' save from Robben's shot, just before the midfielder goal.
The former Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper spoke about the save, which he described as "luck" to keep the score at 0-0.
"I'm convinced that if Robben and I experience that play ten times, it's possible that he''ll beat me nine times. That day, because of the situation, the circumstances or because someone wanted it to be that way, it hit my foot and the ball went wide," Casillas told 'Marca'.
The goalkeeper described the World Cup as "perfect in every way". "We were the favourites when we had never won a WC title, but we had already been playing football at an incredible level for two years. The circumstances we experienced in South Africa were very nice," he added.
