Iker Casillas continues to break records at the age of 34.

Porto's 2-0 victory against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday marked the Spanish 'keeper's 51st clean sheet in the Champions League, allowing him to move ahead of Edwin van der Sar for the most among shot-stoppers in Europe's most prestigious club competition.

Of course, it must be noted that 50 of Casillas' clean sheets in the Champions League came during his 25-year tenure at Real Madrid, as his performance versus the Israelis marked his first clean sheet in the competition since he joined Porto during the summer transfer window.
