Quote:The retired Spain and Real Madrid goalkeeper immediately made headlines when he tweeted: “I hope you respect me: I’m gay” on Sunday (9 October).
Shortly afterwards, his former teammate Carles Puyol added fuel to the fire when he replied: “It’s time to tell our story, Iker”, alongside a heart emoji.
However, it wasn’t long before both players deleted their tweets, which led many to surmise that their entire exchange was a joke.
Shortly after 3.30pm, Casillas told his followers that his account had been hacked, which led to the bogus “coming out” tweet.
