After the success of last year's event, Rafael Nadal and Real Madrid goalie Iker Casillas have joined up with the Red Cross for the second annual "Friends of Iker vs. Friends of Rafa" event to help battle the global issue of malaria.
The sexy Spanish superstars met up for an event presser at Real Cafe Bernabeau. Here's hoping us lucky fans get more moments like this...oy.
Also, here's video from the press conference and a promo for this year's event which features footage from last year's football match.
Special note to Rafanatics: check out your boy in the oh-so-coveted shorty-shorts. His thighs are to die.

Iker Casillas is a handsome man (what's with these Spaniards?), but Rafa is a magnet. With him in a photo, in a room, your eyes just turn to him. Shy, sweet and hunky, an irresistible combo.
