Iker Casillas announced on Sunday via social media that he is gay. The legendary Real Madrid goalkeeper asked for respect, but after a few minutes the post disappeared from the Iberian’s Twitter account.
In a tweet posted on Sunday afternoon, the former goalkeeper said: “I hope you respect me: I’m gay.”
Casillas’ colleague in the Spanish national team, Carles Puyol, supported him with a joke: “Iker, now is the time to tell what happened between us”.

Spanish publication AS claims that Casillas’ post on Twitter is a cheeky response to rumors about his possible relationship with Alejandra Onieva, the former daughter-in-law of Spanish TV presenter Tamara Falco.
