Casillas' appearance in Spain's 1-0 friendly defeat was his 126th for the world and European champions, equalling the record previously set by Andoni Zubizarreta.

It is an amazing landmark for a player who is still only 30, having made his debut as a teenager against Sweden in 2000.

The result rather put a dampener on the occasion, with the Real Madrid keeper insisting England did not do anything to justify their success.

"It is a shame we didn't manage to win," he said.

"It leaves a bitter taste because, in my personal opinion, it was not the right result.

"We created a few more chances than England, who showed their strength at a dead ball situation and managed to convert something.

"Other than that, I can't really think that they created anything else throughout the game.

"As for the record, it is not something I have ever really thought or spoken about.

"I suppose if I retired tomorrow I would realise I had been very fortunate. But at the moment all I am concerned about is playing Costa Rica on Tuesday."
