Iker Casillas has endured a turbulent half-decade in his romantic life, including divorce from his wife Sara Carbonero, and the Colombian model insists he is an "obsessed" 44-year-old man that "doesn't shower".

Legendary former Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas, is once again in the headlines—but this time for controversy off the pitch.

Colombian model Juliana Pantoja, previously linked to Casillas by Spanish media, has publicly accused him of harassment during a television appearance.

“To this day, he is obsessed and wants to hurt me. I blocked him on WhatsApp and Instagram, and then he messaged me on TikTok asking why I blocked him. I have screenshots,” Pantoja alleged.

She claimed they had a romantic relationship spanning three years, during which Casillas even traveled to Colombia to see her. After Casillas denied any connection, Pantoja began posting photos and videos of them together as “proof.”

Pantoja went further, accusing the former goalkeeper of siding with someone who allegedly attacked her, saying:

“We kissed several times, but he treated me differently than his other friends. He won’t silence me with his public image.”

She also made disparaging remarks about Casillas, calling him “a 44-year-old man who didn’t shower daily.”

Casillas’ Tumultuous Romantic Life

Casillas’ private life has been under scrutiny since his split from journalist Sara Carbonero in 2021, after 11 years of marriage. 

The couple’s iconic kiss after Spain’s 2010 World Cup win remains one of football’s most memorable moments, but their relationship ended following Casillas’ career struggles and recovery from a heart attack.

More recently, Casillas was linked to adult film actress Claudia Bavel, who confirmed on Spanish TV that they had been seeing each other and remained in contact.

A Career of Glory, A Life of Turmoil

Casillas is regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in football history. During his 16 years at Real Madrid, he made 725 appearances and won three Champions League titles. With Spain, he lifted the 2010 World Cup and two European Championships (2008, 2012).

However, in retirement, he has admitted to struggling emotionally:

“I don’t sleep regularly. I want to look like I’m okay, but I can’t enjoy life. I listen to old songs, but I can’t dream anymore,” he once confessed.

His recent public appearances have sparked concern among fans, with Gerard Piqué even commenting on social media: “You look like you’ve been hit by a train.”
