Iker Casillas Fernández, +18. Captain of his country and a hero to millions of Madridistas, Casillas also has a strong claim to the title of the finest goalkeeper of his generation. The Real Madrid icon has won tournaments with his country at Under-15, U-17 and U-19 level, but his crowning glory was lifting the Euro 2008 trophy on behalf of his team-mates. Casillas first donned the number one shirt on a regular basis after Santiago Canizares was forced out of the 2002 World Cup squad, having smashed a bottle of aftershave on his foot, and he has been unchallenged ever since. Only Andoni Zubizarreta, with 126 appearances, has won more caps in goal for Spain.
