Real Madrid vs Las Palmas: 5 Talking Points

Crisi
Cristiano Ronaldo was relentless against Las Palmas

#1. Isco shines but Asensio steals the show

Isco and
Asensio and Isco got on the scoresheet as Madrid put on a dominant display

Isco Alarcon has clearly taken over from Cristiano Ronaldo as the main creative force in the team. Everything good going forward for Madrid has Isco's subtle watermark embedded in it.

He capped off yet another solid display with a rather easy finish after being set up by the brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo.

But it is Asensio's glorious left foot that stole the show once again.

Toni Kroos took a freekick from the right flank and Raul Lizoain came out and punched it clear. The ball fell to Marco Asensio outside the box and he absolutely leathered it to the left-top corner and it was as eye-popping spectacular as they come.

Asensio didn't stop there. He played a meaty role in the third goal. It was the young Spanish international who released Ronaldo on the right flank with a neat little one-two that led to the third goal.
