Real Betis may have lost the UEFA Conference League final to Chelsea, but they came out of the game with a lot of credit. And in particular, Isco was the player who wore green and white who blinded many with his performance in Poland.
Isco was in spectacular form against Chelsea because he returned from a broken leg in January. He founded the opening goal of EZ Abde and in general the Premier League side could not come close in the first half.
The quality of Isco was not only appreciated by betis and neutral, but also Chelsea. For each Diario axis, head coach Enzo Maresca spoke positively about the 33-year-old.
“I told Isco that he has a quality that still makes the difference.”
It is a disappointing for the Isco with Betis season, but his football is not yet ready. He will soon participate in the Spain Squad for the UEFA Nations League Finals, where he will be on the same side as Marc Cucurella, with whom he was confronted on Wednesday. And the Chelsea defender is very grateful to be teammates on the international stage with the experienced midfielder, according to MD.
“He is a great player. He has already shown it. He is again in a second childhood and today we had to suffer from it, but in a week from now on I will have to enjoy it. Very happy to share moments, training and time with players of this quality and who have won so much. It is not easy and you can learn a lot.”
It was not for Isco and Betis on Wednesday, but it has still been a very encouraging season. They will be back in European action in 2025-26 when they enter the Europa League, which is a different competition in which they will see their chances.
