Porto s Iker Casillas made his 1000th professional appearance but the iconic goalkeeper s milestone match ended in defeat.
Having made his debut for Real Madrid in 1999, Casillas stepped out for the 1000th time in his glittering career, however, it did not go according to plan as Portuguese giants Porto were swept aside 2-0 by Belenenses Monday.
