#2 Bale and Isco - the shining future

Real Madrid  v AS Roma - UEFA Champions League Group G
Isco

While the Welshman has been one of the most trusted players at the Bernabeu, he is currently on the verge of filling the void left by Ronaldo. One of the fastest strikers in the world of football, he is extremely athletic on the field.

His attacks started from the minute the match started. He even had a close call in the 3rd minute which failed. But he kept on trying and finally scored in the 58th minute. He and Karim Benzema have divided the responsibility of scoring for the team and currently have 11 goals between them in the last 7 games.

The other show stealer for the team was the Spaniard Isco who scored the first goal. A beautiful free kick from 25 yards in the 45th minute sealed the deal for Madrid. Touted as the creative genius, he is often under fire for not performing at par for Real Madrid as he does for his national team. The free-kicks which were Ronaldo’s forte, yesterday was Isco’s, and he did not disappoint.
