Real Madrid's Casillas Confident Of Future Success

Iker Casillas is confident that Real Madrid can replace Barcelona on top of La Liga after the next round of fixtures.

Los Merengues face Athletic Bilbao this weekend, while Barcelona host Sevilla. Speaking to Marca, 'St. Iker' looked ahead to the games, saying, "I expect that we can win and Sevilla can beat Barcelona, thus making us leaders."

"The San Mames will not be an easy place to go."

They will be very motivated, the crowd will roar like lions, but ultimately there will be 22 players on the pitch."

Casillas then touched on the news that Gonzalo Higuain will be out for three weeks, continuing, "It is unfortunate."

"The good thing is that we have Benzema, Raul and Van Nistelrooy, although we keep suffering important injuries in difficult games."

Real Madrid currently sit two points behind Barca, having played 17 games.
