" I hope they respect me: I'm gay ". A tweet published and then deleted that of Iker Casillas , former goalkeeper of Real and the Spanish national team, which has given way to the most disparate hypotheses.

After a series of comments - insults but also approvals - that sentence disappeared from the bulletin board. But shortly after Carles Puyol , who was a teammate of Casillas, replied " It's time to tell our story Iker" with a little red heart beside him.

Two theories that have been the most popular : whether it was a joke in bad taste or a way to promote a campaign against homophobia, until it was the protagonist himself who clarified everything: "Hacked account. Fortunately. everything in order. I apologize to all my followers. And, of course, more apologies to the LGBT community, ”the former Real wrote in a new post.

Casillas was married to Sara Carbonero, a journalist, and had two children. The couple separated last year.
