Iker Casillas has claimed that he wasn’t concerned about beating Jose Mourinho as his Porto side overcame Chelsea 2-1 in the Estadio do Dragao.
The goalkeeper had a frosty relationship with the Chelsea manager when they worked together at Real Madrid, Mourinho famously benching the club legend in his final year at the Bernabeu.
Rumours grew throughout the manager’s combustible months at Madrid that he saw Casillas as a dressing-room mole who had powerful allies in the media.
Both have since departed Madrid in acrimonious circumstances, Casillas moving to Porto in the summer as the club lined up a move for David de Gea.
It was the Spanish international who came out the happier after the victory, but he insisted he had moved on from his previous acrimony with Mourinho and shook his hand before kick-off.
“I'm not happy because I beat Mourinho, I'm happy because I won with the team,” he said after the win.
“I greeted Mourinho. Shaking hands is the gentlemanly thing to go. So much time has passed. If we see each other we greet each other. It's best not to live in the past, I don't do that.”
