What an interview, emotion and kiss! Casillas and Sara (video)
By Gabriela Didcova
Keeper Iker Casillas sealed Spain's first ever World Cup win by kissing his TV reporter girlfriend, who had been accused of distracting him, before millions of viewers during a live on-air interview.
The 29-year-old told Sara Carbonero, a journalist for Spain's Telecinco channel, he was "super happy" just minutes after Spain's nailbiting 1-0 extra-time win over the Netherlands.
"I want to thank the people who have always supported me, my parents, my brother", he said before trailing off and looking away as his eyes welled with tears.
Carbonero, 25, then said the channel would show images of the match but Casillas shook his index finger and suddenly kissed the reporter, first on the mouth and then on her cheek before declaring that the interview was over.
