Casillas mocks Mourinho by retweeting Goal's cartoon


While Iker Casillas celebrates victory on his record-breaking 152nd Champions League appearance, Jose Mourinho sulks in the shadows at Chelsea dropping points yet again in a bumpy start to his season - does any of this sound familiar?

Ahead of Casillas breaking the record on Tuesday, Goal announced the veteran had won a site-wide poll on who the greatest goalkeeper in Champions League history is, beating the likes of Oliver Kahn, Gianluigi Buffon and Edwin van der Sar.

Can you spot Mourinho - who dropped Casillas midway through his final season at the Santiago Bernabeu amid injury and rumours he was the Blancos' infamous line-up mole to the media - angrily looking on in the bottom-right-hand corner?
Goal readers would be right to wonder whether Casillas spotted him too when he choose to retweet Van de Sar's tweet below after the win at the Estadio do Dragao, in which the Dutchman lauded cartoonist Omar Momani's drawing and congratulated the 34-year-old on his achievement!

He won La Decima as Carlo Ancelotti's No.1 in European football the season after Mourinho left, he regained the No.1 spot the campaign afterwards, and now he can claim to have played a part in dealing the Portuguese coach a bitter blow in his efforts to turnaround Chelsea's season - will Casillas continue to have the final word on their don't-call-it-a-feud?

Heir to the Afrobeat icon, and international music star, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti has attributed his success to his tutelage under his father, the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti; first as a trainee, and later as a member of his band. He told The Nation that his father was his first critic, adding that when he played his first composition to his father, he asked how people could dance to it. The singer reminisced, “Fela asked, ‘So how do you want people to dance to this?’ I only thought of the melody when I composed the song, but on speaking to him, I realised that it was important for Africans to be able to dance to the song.”
