LaLiga 2018/19: 5 Real Madrid superstars who will shine this season

#4 Isco

Girona FC v Real Madrid CF - La Liga — The attacker will establish himself under Lopetegui this season

Isco was one of the brightest prospects in La Liga when he left Malaga for Real Madrid in the summer of 2013. However, he struggled to make a reasonable impact at the club during the past few years under former manager, Zinedine Zidane.

With the Frenchman now gone and Julen Lopetegui replacing him as the head coach, it is finally Isco's time to shine in the Spanish capital and all eyes will be on him to reach his peak with Galacticos this term.

The Spaniard is a decent playmaker that thrives on his terrifying movement, incredible dribbling skills and the ability to manipulate the ball at his feet with great efficiency. Having established a perfect connection with Lopetegui in the Spanish national team recently, there is no doubt the attacker will be unleashed under the manager this season.
