ISL semifinals: Top 5 Midfielders

#1 Xisco Hernandez (Bengaluru FC)

This was Xisco Hernandez's first season outside Spain

Bengaluru FC is a star-studded team which includes the likes of Indian skipper Sunil Chhetri, Venezuelan striker Miku, and also Aussie Eric Paartalu.

But Xisco Hernandez has been able to draw everyone’s attention to himself with his hard work in the midfield.

The Spaniard has provided perfect support for the forwards, having provided 5 assists for them in the run-up to the knockout stages of the tournament.

With quality players up front, it was necessary for someone to play responsibly in the midfield. Xisco has done exactly that, under the supervision of their gaffer Carles Cuadrat.

Xisco has been plying his trade in Spain since 2009, this was his first venture outside Europe and is proving to be an eventful one.

His services will be more than useful in the knockout stages for the Blues. Bengaluru FC will go head to head against North East United FC in a two-legged play-offs starting this week.
