- Tweet is criticised by gay player Josh Cavallo
- ‘Apologies to the LGBT community,’ says Casillas
Iker Casillas has claimed his Twitter account was hacked after a post on it said he was gay.
“I hope I’ll be respected: I’m gay,” read a tweet from his account on Sunday morning, a day after Spanish media reported that the former Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper was in a relationship with a local actress. The tweet was soon deleted, and was followed by a supposedly explanatory post.
