I Feel Very Lucky After My Heart Attack – Casillas

Porto goalkeeper, Iker Casillas has been discharged from the clinic, 5 days after battling a heart attack, the Portuguese club has announced.

The Real Madrid legend fell ill during training last week Wednesday and underwent a catheterization after he was rushed to the hospital.

Today, Iker revealed that he has no idea “what the future holds,” and that the most vital thing is that he is back on his feet.

His words, “A few days ago I went through a difficult situation, something that can happen to everyone at some point in their lives,”

“Fortunately, I’m well. I’m grateful because I feel I’ve been very lucky. I want to thank everyone who worried about me, I’ve felt very much loved. I can only come out of this situation with a smile.

“I want to thank those that helped me and that allowed for the heart attack not to be as severe, as the FC Porto medical team responded immediately. I want to thank those that sent messages of support and love. I was also treated very well at hospital. I feel much better and now it’s a case of resting several weeks and a few months. I still don’t know. But the most important thing is to be here.

“I don’t know what the future will hold but the most important thing is to be here, to be able to talk and transmit to everyone how I feel. Thanks to everyone and see you soon.”
