Ronaldo: Casillas still one of the best

Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted that Iker Casillas is still ‘one of the best goalkeepers in the world’.

The Spain international was relegated to Real Madrid’s cup shot-stopper last season, with Diego Lopez playing in La Liga.

And with Lopez signing for Milan, it still looks set to be a season of frustration for the veteran, as Keylor Navas has joined from Levante.

The Ballon d’Or winner though, still has confidence in his captain.

“Iker has never stopped being one of the best keepers in the world,” Ronaldo told reporters.

“He has always been world-class.”

Los Blancos kicked off their campaign by winning the European Super Cup against Sevilla on Tuesday, but the goalscorer believes that is just the start.

“We have to think about the now, not the future. First one objective and then another.

“We've won the European Super Cup and that's great, but we have to keep on working. We've started the season off on the right foot and we're pleased with that.”
