Isco is one of the most frustrated figures currently at the Bernabeu. Since the arrival of Santiago Solari, Isco has been on the bench for the majority of the minutes and that has got everyone confused.

Isco enjoyed great success under Zinedine Zidane as he forced Zidane to make a change in the formation that would suit him the best. Isco was one of the major reasons Zidane opted for a 4-4-2 diamond formation that would allow Isco a free role sitting just behind Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zidane rated the Spaniard so high that he dropped the club's record signing Gareth Bale to make a place for Isco in the starting eleven. For Zidane, Isco was the one who would bring balance, creativity and hold possession.

Everyone knows what Isco brings to the team, he's easily one of the best dribblers in the squad, is press resistant and always has a trick or two down his pocket to beat defenders.

Solari not playing Isco regularly may have consequences as teams would without any hesitation spend around 100 million euros if he decides to leave. With Isco on the bench Real don't have stability, control, lack creativity and can't capitalize on small or central spaces.
