After being on and off the bench for Real Madrid over the last two years, Isco has finally cemented his position as a mainstay of Los Blancos, and has been trusted by Zidane to start in several important games.

Isco's greatest moment came in 2012, when he won the Golden boy award with Malaga in 2012. In 2013, he moved to Real Madrid and has slowly but steadily become one of the best midfielders in the world.

Isco's debut for the senior team came in 6 February, 2013 against Uruguay but it took him over a year to score his first goal for the Spanish national team. He has been in good form this season, bagging eight goals and nine assists across all competitions.

Isco will most probably play as an attacking midfielder at the world cup, just behind Diego Costa. Isco is also brilliant as a false nine, and can draw the defenders towards him letting others like Iniesta and David Silva exploit the space.
