Real Betis achieved a memorable 2-1 victory over Real Madrid on Saturday, and former Los Blancos-Superster Isco was central to the victory. He assisted the equalizer of Johnny Cardoso, before scored the winner himself from the penalty spot.
It was a marathon performance of Isco and Betis, and it took his toll on the 32-year-old, who spoke with Movistar (via Diario AS) after the game.
“I feel dead, bursts. It is very difficult to win games and even more against Real Madrid, with their millions of resources. We came apart to the game and they hurt us a lot. In the middle of the game, the team took a step forward. We must continue, not get upset.
“It was very difficult. They have the best players in the world. They have a lot of quality, speed … without the work of the entire team it would not have been possible. “
Isco also spoke about his celebration to the goal he scored.
“My wife was there. I film a small documentary about how I recover from my injury. I also had a gesture with the Real Madrid fans because I am grateful that they helped me to fulfill the dreams that every child has. Always with Real Madrid in my heart. “
Isco missed the entire first half of the season after a broken leg during the last phases of the previous campaign, for which he needed two operations. He has returned to spectacular fashion in recent months and now he is aimed at a long-awaited return to the Spain team prior to the quarterfinals of this month UEFA Nations League against the Netherlands.
“I owe myself in the first place to Betis. But the national team is the dream of every player. Hopefully I have that chance and I will come back after six or seven years. '
