The Real Madrid captain was dropped for the first time in 10 years by Mourinho, who paid the price as his Real Madrid side lost 3-2 to Malaga.

Casillas told La Sexta: "The coach decides which team he thinks is best for each match and you need to accept the decision.

"I'm not used to being a substitute but above Iker Casillas or any player is the team. What I need to do is continue training and try to recover the confidence of the coach."
