Former Spain goalkeeper and Real Madrid team Iker Casillas proposed on Monday a charitable "Classico" organization between the old players of the two rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​after the outbreak of the new Coruna virus epidemic.

"When this nightmare comes to an end, all the distinguished players of the past few years must be brought together for the classic + classic game!" Casillas wrote in a tweet on his Twitter account.

The former international goalkeeper, who before the crisis of "Covid-19" indicated his intention to run for the presidency of the Spanish Federation for the game, said the proceeds of this match will be allocated to support "the needy."

The Tweet of the current goalkeeper of Porto, who intends to retire permanently soon, came in response to a Tweet from the former leader of Barcelona, ​​Carles Puyol, in which he expressed the happiness afforded him to play behind the former midfield stars of the Catalan club, Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez.

Iniesta soon agreed to Casillas' suggestion, and he also responded via social media: "Start preparing invitations ... and you can count on me!"

In spite of their rivalry at the club level, the four players were essential pillars in the golden generation of Spanish football, and in the squad that crowned the world champion in the 2010 World Cup South Africa.

Spain was severely affected by the spread of the "Covid-19" virus on its soil, and it is the second country worst hit in the world after Italy in terms of deaths. Many current and former athletes have stepped up their initiatives to support medical workers or raise funds to help fight the epidemic.

According to the latest statistics of the health authorities on Monday, the number of people infected with the new Corona virus in Spain increased to 135032 cases, and 13055 people died, knowing that the number of deaths decreased for the fourth consecutive day.
