Isco’s story at Madrid seems to be incredibly dramatic right now.

For a few months, he is adored by the fans and Zidane, given the minutes and performs well. Then just a slight dip in form will result in an onslaught from fans, but reassurance from Zidane despite being relegated to the bench.

Just like Gareth Bale, Isco took to the pitch with his national squad and reminded the world who he is. The Spanish National team took on Argentina at the Wanda Metropolitano in their second friendly of the international break. With Isco getting the start, he took full advantage of the minutes allotted.

The little magician who has been applauded time after time scored a super hattrick against Argentina as his side downed their opponents 6-1.

The second half of the domestic season has not featured Isco all that much, but with that wonderful performance that could all change very soon.
