“I always knew that I would reach the first team, ever since I was twelve or thirteen years old. I remember standing on the Castellana Avenue with my father and seeing the Santiago Bernabeu. I thought to myself “one day I’m going to make it. I’m going to play in front of the Bernabeu.” When I used to watch Real Madrid against either Athletic Bilbao or Real Sociedad I knew that one day I would get my chance.” - Iker Casillas
