Former Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas has deleted a tweet that said he was gay - saying his account was hacked. Casillas tweeted in Spanish: "I hope you respect me: I'm gay," before his former Spain team-mate Carlos Puyol replied: "It's time to tell our story." The tweet was live for more than an hour before being deleted. Casillas later tweeted: "Hacked account. Luckily everything in order. Apologies to all my followers." The tweet added: "Of course, more apologies to the LGBT community." Casillas split from his wife Sara Carbonero last March. They have two children. Before Casillas' initial tweet was deleted, Adelaide United player Josh Cavallo, who came out last October, criticised Casillas and Puyol for apparently joking about coming out. "Joking and making fun out of coming out in football is disappointing," Cavallo tweeted. "It's a difficult journey that any LGBTQ+ people have to go through. To see my role models and legends of the game make fun out of coming out and my community is beyond disrespectful." Few high-profile current or former male players have ever come out as openly gay in the sport. Earlier this year, teenager Jake Daniels became the first professional in the UK men's game for more than 30 years to come out while still playing. The 17-year-old Blackpool player said the decision would allow him to be "free and confident". Casillas, who retired in 2020, joined Real Madrid aged nine and made 725 appearances for the club during a 16-year career at the Bernabeu, winning three Champions League titles and five La Liga crowns. He moved to Porto in 2015, winning two Primeira Liga titles and one Portuguese Cup, but his playing career ended after he suffered a heart attack during training in April 2019. He later joined the club's coaching staff. As well as winning the 2010 World Cup, he helped Spain to two successive European Championships in 2008 and 2012, and won 167 caps between 2000 and 2016. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63193331 |
