and
known as Yashin Award) and the 2012 European Championship. Having won
the

to be one of the finest goalkeepers of all time. Casillas was nominated

At the end
of 2012 he was voted into the UEFA Team of the Year for the sixth
consecutive

Champions
League and in November 2011, he became the most capped player of all
time for
the Spanish national team. With over 150 caps for his national team,
Casillas is
the third captain in football history to lift the World Cup trophy, the
Champions
League trophy and the European Championship trophy, after Franz
Beckenbauer
and Didier Deschamps.
