Real Madrid captain Casillas: No rift between Spanish, Portuguese players

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has denied claims of a split inside the locker room.

Former Real president Ramon Calderon claimed there was a rift between the Spanish and Portuguese players inside the club.

But Casillas said: "I don't have a bad relationship with any teammate. We coexist in training sessions, pre-match gatherings and games, like all other squads. I may get angry with someone one particular day, or someone may get angry at me, but it's not something to dwell on.

"There are no problems between the Spaniards and Portuguese on the squad. I find it quite absurd also because there happens to be Brazilian players amongst the so-called Portuguese group."
