The Spanish international has been off-form for some time now, and although he was not at fault for either goal in Real’s latest defeat at home to fierce rivals Atletico Madrid, he came under attack from a large section of supporters at the Bernabeu.
Pepe may too be concerned by Casillas’ overall drop in form, and appears to have backed the fans and their right to aim criticism at the club’s keeper.
“The fans are always right,” he said after the game. “I have not heard them but if they have, the fans are always right.”
