Mourinho’s final match as Real Madrid manager was a disastrous Copa del Rey final defeat to Atletico Madrid which resulted in the Rojiblancos’ first derby victory in ten years.
Casillas was on the bench for the match as Cristiano Ronaldo and the manager were sent off in a 2-1 defeat.

“But I did what I did to at least have the option of playing in the match.
“If not, it would have been a circus of two people, which would have dragged in many more.
“It would have been more than Real Madrid, it would have been the Madrid fair.”
Casillas stayed at the club for another two seasons after Mourinho’s departure, and won the Champions League for a third time in 2014.
