Isco, a five-time Champions champion who faded away

the goodbye of Isco of Real Madrid It was an open secret until he himself confirmed it with an emotional and sympathetic message in equal parts through his social networks.

The man from Malaga, whose contract ends on June 30, ends nine years in the Real Madrid in which he has lifted five Championsthree Ligasfour Club World Cupsthree European Super Cupsthree Spanish Super Cups and one Copa del Rey in 353 games with the white shirt.

An end point that although it is true that, as in all farewells, only the good is remembered, paradoxically, its darkest stage is also glimpsed, because there has been.

And it is that since Zidane left office for the first time in 2018, the man from Malaga has not been who he was again. Started in the Champions League final in kyiv ahead of Bale, the following season with Lopetegui started like a shot thanks to the good harmony with the Basque coach but that was not maintained with the arrival of Solari.

With the Argentine he had his time of ostracism relegated to the bench and many times to the stands and, since then, he has not stood out again. Always with a secondary role within the team, every time he entered the field he seemed to do it in an apathetic manner and without being able to chain two good performances continuously.

new stage

Now, in a new club that has not yet been revealed, Isco has the possibility of being able to show again that he still has football in his boots because he has it and he is still young.

He leaves, therefore, remembered for having had an ascending career until Kiev and descending since then but far from it having passed without relevance because it leaves a list of winners that many legends already wanted.
