Messi look-a-like Reza Parastesh crashed a Casillas interview

The former Madrid stopper had just been praising the Barça star

Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who could leave Porto this summer for the Premier League or Serie A, has been surprised by Lionel Messi once again, this time away from the pitch. Or better said, we should nuance: by the 'other' Messi, the Iranian Reza Parastesh.

It was during an interivew with a television channel in Kuqait. Casillas was speaking about football and he was asked about Messi and his battles against the Argentine during the Clasicos he played for Madrid against Barcelona. 

The former Madrid captain was quick to praise Messi: "He is one of the best in the world right now. He's among the two, three players that stand above the rest, he's one of them." 

Casillas continued to speak about the Barça man, saying that he's had "the luck -- or misfortune! -- to face him on various occasions and I've been able to produce some of my best football when I've played Messi." 

Then began a game. "What would I say if he was here? If he was here I suppose I would say hello, ask him how he is and say that it's always been a pleasure to play against him..." Then, the laughter began when Reza Paratesh appeared.

"Hombre! What's up? I'm good, how are you?" laughed Casillas, continuing the joke. "You don't speak Spanish? No, only English... Argentine... Chinese? Argentine... Yes, I know, I know that you're from Iran!"
