Former Spain International and Portugal’s FC Porto shot-stopper, Iker Casillas has been discharged from hospital days after suffering a heart attack.

Giving a short speech to the waiting press and well wishers after  leaving the hospital in the company of his wife, Sara Carbonero, the clearly emotionally-overwhelmed Casillas said he was grateful for the luck he had.

“I have to be grateful because I had a lot of luck. I want to say thanks to many people, they made me feel loved,” Casillas, who played 725 times for Real Madrid, winning three Champions Leagues and five La Liga titles said.

“I will have to wait a couple of weeks or a couple of months. The truth is I don’t care how long. I don’t know what will happen in the future but the most important thing is to be here and to be able to speak with calm,” he added.

The goalkeeper, who joined Porto in 2015 also won the World Cup with Spain in South Africa in 2010.
