"The current Real Madrid team is one that began to be built up during last season when we managed to win the European Cup and the Copa del Rey," the Blancos skipper said after Saturday's victory at Granada. "And we want to go on like this.
"We have excellent players. Some have had to leave us, though they were important to us, but other players have come in and they have adapted well and are bringing in positive results.
"This could be the best Real Madrid side I've played in and hopefully by the end of the season we'll have won some big competitions."
Despite currently being top of La Liga, Casillas is well aware that Madrid will have a real fight on their hands to claim their first Spanish title since 2012.
Indeed, Carlo Ancelotti's men are just one and two points clear of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, while Sevilla can usurp them at the summit of the standings if they win their game in hand at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday afternoon.
With Valencia also in a position to draw to within a point, Casillas is relishing what looks set to be one of the most open title races in many years.
"It's great from the competitive point of view," the Spain international enthused. "In other years it was just a straight fight between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
"But then Atletico joined in and now there are five or six teams up there!"
