While seeing Twitter, Iker Casillas' tweet moved me. Comments to Carles Puyol.
"WHEN ALL THIS NIGHTMARE ENDS, we should gather the mythical ones of years ago and play a CLASSIC VINTAGE !!

I understand the wishes of the Greats of Soccer, in this case, to go out on the field to give their best and give back to the public what they have given them. Especially to those most affected by Covid19.

Spain is one of the countries most affected by Covid19 it hurts to see the current figures and the clearest expression can not be is a complete "Nightmare".

Please put the team together. Imagine for a moment what that magnificent event will be like. That with God's favor we will enjoy it very soon.

These are two great legends wanting to give back to the society that made them; true pure intentions and equally unbiased.
To be honest, the classic vintage charity match will indeed be fun-filled and fulfilling; i hope the pandemic ends soon and every one across the world gets supported one way or the other.

I do believe soon, this nightmare will go away.

Honestly they do these "old school players game" time to time but I haven't really seen too much of that recently (not recently recently, I haven't seen a regular game recently as well:D, I mean this whole year). With corona gone and all of these people really wanting to go out and play as well, because they have been stuck for a long time and would want a big bang to get all the jitters out, I think it could actually be a league concept.

Not something huge, not a big one, maybe even futsal type of small place instead of a huge regular pitch, but think about 8 on 8 and 5-6 teams, that could very well happen. In NBA there is BIG3 that allows old school basketball players to continue playing, maybe we need something like that for football as well? Wouldn't you love to watch 40+ stars play football again?

Despite that I'm Barcelona fan, Casillas, together with Raul always been my most respected Real Madrid players. He is amazing goalkeeper and great personality.
Such vintage Clasico sound like a great. It would bring us great memories about amazing El Clasico matches that we had in previous years with all legends of Barca and Real Madrid. Charity is also very important and needed in these times and such game would let us to forget about all problems for 2 hours. Now we only have to hope that this nightmare will end soon...
And sad that Ronaldinho probably won't be able to play in this game.

I’ll second that as I remember very well that even when Mourinho treated him badly he didn’t do any drama, simply turned up for training and he quietly left Real Madrid after all those glorious years.

He also had serious health problems when he played for Porto, which forced him to retire from football earlier than he planned...

That is a great option and I think all other countries can do the same in their own leagues by playing the strongest derby with some of the strongest players the teams have had in recent history.It is also a great idea to donate the winnings of such games to the people in need.Truly a great gesture by the greatest goalkeeper of all time in my opinion for Real Madrid.

Is words in quote(in English) the exact translation from his Spanish post to English? I was wondering what the "mythical ones of years ago" mean. Old players or some ancient creatures? Lol.

The translation is a bit clumsy, that's right. What is meant is "legends from back then". What he is talking about is a match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. The games between these two teams were very competitive at the beginning of the 2000s with legendary players like Ronaldhino, Xavi, Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and of course David Beckham.

Here is the article that explains a little more about the background why exactly these two teams and what the purpose of this game should be.

I see he is/was a goalkeeper. Probably old keeper? Guess I have heard that name longtime ago.

He is/was recognized as the greatest goal keeper for a very long time, some even consider him the greatest goal keeper of all times. If you are only very rudimentary interested in football you have already stumbled across his name 100%.

If I’m understanding it correctly then this is a call for a Real Madrid vs Barcelona match, and I wonder will Messi and Ronaldo join in too and if they do join then it’ll become an epic match for sure.

Precisely a call to Real Madrid has not been mentioned. The idea is being formed to gather, as Iker says, the mythical ones of years ago and play a Vintage Classic. Perhaps in an interview, he'll give to the Champions League, he'll mention something about it.

But it is great to see these great teams playing to raise funds for the neediest. "Real Madrid vs Barcelona"

Casillas is a true legend of the game. He has had a terrible time in his personal life over the last 12-18 months if you research it & he still wants to help people.

What a man!

Yes, please. Follow the Tweet. Wink

Andrés Iniesta and Carles Puyol think it's a good idea and they talking about organizing the event. Some fans asked to integrate the team to Ronaldinho and happily, today he has been released from jail after paid a bail of $800,000.
Thanks to Iker Casillas for brightening our day!

This would be promising for sure. I will follow his twitter just for the possible next steps with this "Classic Vintage" he is talking about.

Probably a charity match which would include a lot of legendary players, I'd love to see Raul and couple players take the stage again btw.
