Real Madrid v CSKA Moscow - UEFA Champions League Group G
Isco is perhaps one of the most talented players right now in the current Real Madrid squad but the Spaniard's role in the club has been reduced to somewhat nil. Isco's antiques are out for the world to see but as things stand the former Malaga man won't be plying his trade at Santiago Bernabeu next season.

Isco faced stiff competition from James Rodriguez and Mateo Kovacic in a bid to cement his place in the squad but the Spanish emerged victorious as he came out on top showcasing his talent and thereafter announced himself to the world as one of the best.
Since Santiago Solari has taken over Julen Lopetegui the Spanish wizard has seen his role reduced and the reason seems to be a tiff between the player and the manager. Isco has hardly made starts under Solari and recently was dropped from the squad to face Barcelona in the Copa even after being fully fit. So far Isco has featured in 15 games in La Liga starting only five of those.
A player of his calibre should be on the pitch and not the bench and if the situation is not resolved soon, Bernabeu will lose one of the players they adore the most with clubs like InterManchester City and Juventus all interested. The whole saga depends on if Santiago Solari stays beyond this season.

Zinedine Zidane's Panenka penalty in the 2006 final is Samyak’s favorite World Cup moment owing to the Frenchman’s sheer nerves of steel showcased, and thinks Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland are ready to usher in a new era post-Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
