Sara Carbonero

Sara Carbonero Arévalo (born 3 February 1984 in Corral de Almaguer, Toledo) is a Spanish TV presenter for Telecinco and sports journalist. In July 2009, Carbonero, the girlfriend of Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas, was voted "The Sexiest Reporter in the World" by FHM USA.


During the 2010 FIFA World Cup it was alleged that Carbonero, reporting during the match between Spain and Switzerland, had distracted Casillas, causing the unexpected Swiss victory. The allegations were made in the English press, originally by The Guardian and The Times, prompting the Spanish newspapers El Mundo, El País and the popular sports daily Marca to all run articles suggesting that the claims were preposterous and untrue.
