RCD Mallorca 1-0 Real Madrid: 4 players who disappointed for Los Blancos | LaLiga 2019/2020

#2 Isco

Isco did not offer enough penetration for Real Madrid

Isco is a hugely divisive figure among football fans, as many believe that he is nothing more than a luxury player, while others opine that he ranks high up there with the best in the world.

On his day, the Spanish international is capable of splendid brilliance, with his technique and ability on the ball almost second to none.

However, he is also capable of exasperating play, while his lack of defensive contribution and sometimes poor final balls leave a lot to be desired.

Against Real Mallorca, it was the latter that was on display and despite controlling a lion's share of the possession, Real Madrid simply lacked the penetration to truly trouble the hosts and this was down to the non-application of Isco in the middle of the park.

He was substituted for Rodrygo in the 65th minute and with players like Modric and Kroos out of the picture, Isco did not do his chances of starting upon their return a world of good with his display on the night.
