Casillas: I don't miss Real Madrid Football - Portugal Denied that he had retired from international football

Iker Casillas admitted that while he is grateful to Real Madrid for all that the club has given him, he does not miss playing for them.

The goalkeeper won the Portuguese title this year with Porto and hopes to stay another year at the club which he moved to from Madrid in 2015.

"I do not miss Madrid, they are stages in your life and you have to move on," he said.

"Real Madrid have given me everything, I have played big games, I have won titles and I have played for the national team. I will always be grateful to Real Madrid, I remain a supporter and I enjoy watching the team.

"The truth is that when you get older it is important to win titles because it gives you motivation. If you go a long time without winning you become desperate. For me I would like to continue a year more, I plan things over the short term and enjoy the moment."

Casillas is not currently in Julen Lopetegui's reckoning for the World Cup but the shot-stopper says that he is ready to play if called on.

"It will be a different experience for me as I have not convinced Lopetegui to call me," he continued.

"I have not retired from international football and I understand that Lopetegui has opted for other players."
