After making headlines earlier this month with a bizarre tweet, legendary Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has set Twitter ablaze with another viral post. This time, about his testicles.
“I’m really feeling like shooting myself in the testicles 7 times”, Casillas tweeted in Spanish. The tweet, posted at 2am in Spain time, where the former goalkeeper resides, amassed over 50 thousand likes in just a few hours.
His friend Ibai Llanos could be the motive behind the tweet
The post created mass confusion on social media. Until some users picked up on the fact that popular Twitch streamer Ibai Llanos had tweeted a very similar phrase just a few hours before. Is it a hacker again? Or a nod to his friend Ibai?
Just one hour after the strange tweet, Casillas shared a coherent and serious sounding opinion on Real Madrid’s Champions League loss, making it seem like the post was intentional on the former star goalkeeper’s part.
Iker Casillas claimed his account was hacked in infamous “gay” post
On October 8th, Casillas tweeted what was made to look as a ‘coming out’ message: “I hope you respect me: I’m gay. Happy Sunday.” After the post ended up going viral and even getting a reply from former Barça defender Carles Puyol, Iker Casillas assured that his account had been hacked and he asked for forgiveness from the LGBTQ+ community.
