Former Real Madrid and Spanish national team goalkeeper Iker Casillas shared a touching story about a call he received from former Barcelona player Lionel Messi after suffering a heart attack in 2019. Sport24.az reports that the veteran goalkeeper shared this on his social media account:
"In 2019, I had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. The next day I got a call from an unknown number... It turned out to be Messi. He said, 'Hello, Iker. I didn't have your number, I got it from Pique. I hope you get well soon. I sent you flowers.'"
It is worth noting that Casillas has since retired, while Messi continues to play for Inter Miami.
