Testimony in the legal case brought by former goalkeeper Iker Casillas against FC Porto and insurance company Fidelidade suggests his heart attack was not triggered by physical exertion during training. A medical expert testified in court that the primary cause of Casillas’ cardiac arrest was a pre-existing coronary condition. The footballer is seeking €3.7 million in compensation from both the football club and the insurer. The court proceedings center on determining liability for the health event that ended Casillas’ professional career. The expert’s statement aims to clarify that the training session was not the initiating factor of the heart attack, but rather a coinciding event. This development shifts focus to Casillas’ prior health status in the ongoing legal battle.
