Real Madrid and Barcelona legends reignited their rivalry in Mexico. The match, hosted by Estadio Nemesio Diez in Toluca, ended 2-2 after regular time, but Real Madrid ended victorious on penalties.

It is to be noted that while the match had many moments of nostalgia, it was Iker Casillas who stole the show during the contest.

The 43-year-old proved to the fans that he has certainly not lost his touch by making a stunning double save.

Casillas’ double save against Iniesta and Saviola

The most crucial moment of the night came during a scintillating sequence in the second half when the former Madrid number one made a jaw-dropping double save.

First, it was Andres Iniesta, the legendary Barcelona midfielder, who tried his luck with a curling shot from outside the box. Casillas made a full stretch to keep the ball out, drawing massive cheers from the crowd.

But what followed next stunned even the Barcelona fans present at the event. This is because the ball rebounded straight to Javier Saviola inside the penalty area, and while a goal seemed certain, Casillas dove to his feet and pulled off another miraculous stop.

The stadium erupted with shock and admiration, as it was a moment straight out of his prime years that made him one of the finest keepers in the team’s history.

In what was a mere exhibition match, the veteran stopper showed top-class reflexes, positioning, and determination.

It must be remembered that Casillas retired in 2020 and five years on, the Madrid legend continues to look as sharp and focused as ever.

Meanwhile, after an evenly contested 90 minutes, where the score remained 2-2, the game went into penalties. Ultimately, Real Madrid held their nerve and secured the win with an 8-7 victory.
