Casillas won three Champions League titles during his 17 years with Real Madrid, doing so in 2000, 2002 and 2014.

Casillas moved to Porto in the summer of 2015 and subsequently featured in the competition for the Portuguese club. In December 2018, Casillas emulated Cristiano Ronaldo by featuring in 100 match wins in the Champions League, as Porto beat Galatasaray 3-2 in Istanbul.

The win made Casillas the first goalkeeper in the Champions League to reach a century of match wins.

Casillas broke Van der Saar's record for most clean sheets (50) in the Champions League when he did not concede a goal in Porto's 2-0 home win over Maccabi Tel Aviv. The match was part of the group stage fixtures in the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League.

Casillas has since kept eight more clean sheets in the competition for the Portuguese club, to extend his record to 59.

The Spanish custodian also holds the record for most appearances (177) in the Champions League.
