Betis beaten Madrid with the purpose of Isco
The former Spanish international Isco showed why he had spent nine years with Madrid until 2022, winning Laliga three times and five titles of the Champions League among 19 trophies at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 32 -year -old man had a brief spell with Seville before joining Betis in 2023, and his performance was a reminder of his influence in Madrid, including 53 goals in 353 appearances.
The Isco winner could prove to be a major blow to the ambitions of his former team to win an extremely tight title race in the 12 remaining games of their League season.
Betis has almost marked a second when Cucho Hernandez sent a closely wide shot in the middle of the second half, and Madrid replaced Mbappe – returning from a dental operation – with 15 minutes remaining.
