Former Real Madrid midfielder and European Cup winner Manuel Velazquez Villaverde has passed away aged 72.
Velazquez played for the Spanish giants between 1965 and 1977 and formed a part of the Madrid team that claimed the club's sixth European crown in 1966, defeating Partizan Belgrade 2-1 in the final.
"Rest in Peace, Manuel Velazquez," wrote Casillas, who now plies his trade for Portuguese giants Porto.
"Legend of Real Madrid. Strength to his family, friend and the entire family of Real Madrid veterans."
