UEFA Champions League 2016/17, Real Madrid vs Juventus: 5 things to look forward to in the final

Can’t do any damage there

#4 Isco’s free rein

Why wasn’t Isco used earlier in the season?

When you look at just how influential Isco has been over the last few weeks, it’s a wonder that Zinedine Zidane has kept him on the sidelines for so long. Particularly when you consider that the player was most definitely putting the feelers out to other clubs for a potential summer move.

The former Malaga player was seeking a way out and only Zidane’s change of heart looks likely to have changed Isco’s mind.

Thankfully, we haven’t got to the point where his contributions have been too little, too late, for the midfielder has been decisive in just about every game he’s played in.

He’s not known as Magia (Magic) in the dressing room without good reason. Isco is a match winner and a first-class team player and he’s at his creative best when he’s given free reign to do damage. At the tip of a midfield diamond behind an expected front two of Ronaldo and Benzema, we could have the difference maker in the final right here.
