REAL MADRID HAD goalkeeper Kiko Casilla to thank for today’s International Champions Cup win over AC Milan in Shanghai.

The sides played out a 0-0 draw during a fairly uneventful 120 minutes of football, with all the drama saved for the penalty shootout.

Milan’s big money signing Carlos Bacca missed a spot-kick and Toni Kroos had his effort saved before Casilla, a recent arrival from Espanyol, kept out his opposite number — 16-year-old stopper Antonio Donnarumma – as Real Madrid claimed a 10-9 victory.

With Iker Casillas off to Porto, the La Liga giants remain in the hunt for Manchester United number one David De Gea.

Here’s the shootout in full:
