Casillas latest surprise on Twitter: “Seven shots in the testicles”
The ex-goalkeeper continues to get himself noticed for his way of expressing himself on social media, although this time the reason is a tweet from Ibai Llanos and Real Madrid’s defeat.
Iker Casillas is determined to express himself on social media, especially on Twitter and his views certainly get a reaction. The ex-Real Madrid, Porto and Spain goalkeeper generated a huge controversy for posting, then deleting: “I’m gay” and a couple of weeks ago caused over 140,000 interactions when he replied to a tweet from Ibai Llanos, who claimed that he was “fed up to the balls” with Kylian Mbappé's never-ending to-ing and fro-ing at PSG. Casillas, left his followers stunned with a cryptic message: “I hope you like me, I think you are great.” And he was back posting on with the Basque streamer’s feed with another post that went viral.
At two o’clock in the morning and with quotation marks, Iker Casillas left a phrase that has surprised many of his almost 10 million followers on Twitter. “I can’t wait to shoot myself seven times in the testicles,” he blurted out. Almost 20,000 retweets and more than 120,000 likes in just a few hours, although what is really striking is the number of responses that this message has provoked, giving rise to memes, videos and many more. jokes. But what is really behind Iker’s tweet?
To understand the context, you have to look back at what happened in Tuesday’s Champions League action. Real Madrid stumbled to a 3-2 defeat at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, a result which means Ancelotti’s team now must win the final group game to ensure that they finish top of Group F. From the 13th minute until the end of the match, Ancelotti’s men were behind on the scoreboard and Ibai Llanos, who was watching the game at home, couldn’t believe what he was seeing. After Nkunku’s goal, he vented his anger on Twitter: “I can’t wait to shoot myself seven times in the bollocks,” he tweeted. A few hours later, Casillas echoed the streamer’s post although tweaking it slightly with a slight change when referring to his noble zone.
Casillas’ post-match assessment
Almost half an hour after sharing that strange tweet, Casillas became more serious and analyzed the situation of Real Madrid in Group F of the Champions League. As it stands, his former team is the leader on 10 points, one point ahead of RB Leipzig. Los Blancos end the group stage at home to Celtic, who are last in the group and without any chance of qualifying for the Europa League. “Real Madrid lost, but even so, it is easier for them to advance to the next round. Nothing is at stake on the last matchday for Celtic. Gaining those three points will put them first. Yes, anything can happen, but the way it is looking, they will go through as top of the group,” Iker reasoned.
