Like Casillas, a young man who burst to prominence during the latter stages of the Champions' League, Lopez's hat-trick against Lazio in the quarter-final ended Italian participation in European competition.
Quick, hard-working and with an eye for a goal, Lopez has thrown Barcelona's rejection as a youngster right in their face.
Uncapped until the warm-up game against Sweden, when he came on for 25 minutes to achieve the distinction of being capped at every level.
More a face for the future in international terms, but Euro 2000 could be the start of a long international career.
