Real Madrid: Champions League Final Media Day
Isco's link up play on the wings will be very crucial for Real Madrid.

When Liverpool will take on Real Madrid they will face Isco, who would be one of the most technically gifted players on the pitch. If going by the trend of Madrid's formation and play in Champions League, Isco is likely to play the attacking midfielder role supporting Bale and Ronaldo.

Isco will be given the free role to roam around the channels and try to link up the play with his fullbacks and help them provide service to Bale and Ronaldo.

But it won't be so easy for him as he likely to face Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. If Henderson manages to keep him at bay only then Liverpool can think of a having a chance of beating the Los Blancos in the final.

Isco's movement and link up on the wings will be very crucial for Madrid and captain Henderson will definitely have a torrid time facing the Spaniard. If Isco gets the better of the Englishmen Liverpool will have no chance against the Los Blancos.
