Porto, May 2: Iker Casillas has offered a positive update on his health after the 'big fright' of suffering a heart attack.

"Everything under control, a big fright but strong as ever," the 37-year-old's tweet read.

"Huge thanks for all the messages and love."

Casillas won five La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues during 16 decorated seasons with Real Madrid, while he was Spain's last line of defence during their golden period – winning Euro 2008 and Euro 2012 either side of the 2010 World Cup.
