It seems like 2013 just isn’t the year for Iker Casillas, as the greatest goalkeeper in the history of the Spanish national team made it only 15 minutes into his first start of the season before picking up a rib injury, forced to leave the pitch and pave way for Diego Lopez in more than one way.

Rotating goalkeeper on a regular basis is not a proven way to win titles; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Iker Casillas might be getting out of the freezer and will enjoy some playing time in the Champions League, but Diego Lopez is still the number one keeper for Real Madrid, and playing six times in three months won’t be what makes Casillas forget about wanting to leave.
