Casillas breaks record with nine consecutive successful clean sheets for Spain

Goal :    Real Madrid and Spain icon Iker Casillas broke the international record set for the number of minutes without conceding a goal on Friday, having had nine consecutive clean sheets for the national side.

Holding the recognition for the original accomplishment of 708 minutes set back in 2008, the 31-year-old went one better on his previous achievement against Belarus, on what was his 141 international appearance.

Casillas has not allowed an opponent since Antonio Di Natale [during Spain’s Euro 2012 opener against eventual finalists Italy] to bulge his net, recording an unprecedented 728 minutes without conceding.
