Only the seasons this archive holds are listed — it begins in 2000/01 and covers league matches in the five competitions named above, so a career that started earlier or ran through other leagues shows a gap here rather than a blank.
How this page is put together
The career table above is the structured record held on Wikidata under a public-domain licence, read once and cached, not queried while you are reading. The player is bound to that record by date of birth rather than by name: a name search returns the wrong Klose and three different Robinhos, and a page carrying somebody else’s links cannot afford that.
Compare any two clubs he played for with the head-to-head tool, or read the records these seasons feed into.

Career record
Iker Casillas, born 1981-05-20, in Móstoles, Spain, listed at 182 cm, a goalkeeper. The club record below covers 3 senior teams between 2000 and 2019.
| Club | Seasons | Seasons recorded |
|---|---|---|

International football accounts for a further 17 seasons with Spain, running alongside the club years rather than after them — which is why the dates in the table overlap.
Spells are listed by the seasons in which the player appears in the provider’s squad records. Where two clubs overlap in the same year the player moved mid-season, and both are shown rather than one being chosen.
Read against this site’s own league archive: Real Madrid won the title in 2007/08, 2011/12 during his 2003–2014 spell.
Honours
25 titles are recorded, alongside 23 runner-up or other placed finishes. Both lists come from the same squad records as the career table above, so a competition the player was registered for but did not play in can still appear.
