Juventus 0-3 Real Madrid: 3 things that Real Madrid did right 

#2 Persisting with Isco ahead of Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio

Isco was at his influential best against Juventus

Zinedine Zidane had a tough call to make before the game. There were three candidates who were knocking on the manager's door for a starting berth ahead of the first leg.

Gareth Bale scored a brace at the weekend and was called by many to be given a start. Marco Asensio had been the game changer against PSG whereas Isco had been in fine form during the international break.

Zidane decided to go with Isco and play him as the No. 10 in a diamond formation. Isco was given a free role on the night as the Spaniard could be seen roaming around the field wherever he could find the space to go to. It resulted in Juventus' defensive shape getting disturbed which ultimately resulted in the first goal.

Isco had a passing accuracy of exact 100% on the night, completing 54 passes out of 54 attempted. He put in one key pass, two long cross field balls and two crosses. He was crucial to Real Madrid's cause on the night and with this performance, he has booked his place in the big games coming up in the campaign.
