Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas insists every player there deserves a send-off like the one given to Alvaro Arbeloa.
Arbeloa is set to depart the Bernabeu at the end of the season after a seven-year spell - one in which he helped his boyhood club to domestic and European success along the way.
The 33-year-old was treated to a huge reception from the Madrid faithful and a warm send-off from his team-mates after their 3-2 home win over Valencia on Sunday.
Arbeloa's send-off was a stark contrast to that of Casillas', who was given just a press conference to say goodbye after his 25-year stint at the club came to an end last season.
And the Porto custodian has called for equal treatment for other squad members in a thinly-veiled dig at his former club in the process.
"Every player that plays at Real Madrid deserves these kind of goodbyes, with their team-mates, with the fans," Casillas said in a video posted on Facebook.
"I'm grateful for everything he has given the team and I wish him all the best ahead of this new chapter in his life.
"Alvaro was a product of the youth academy and had to go elsewhere to prove he had the necessary quality to return and play for Real Madrid."
