As much as Real Madrid have made headlines this season for all the wrong reasons, Isco is fast becoming the new cynosure of the media for no better reasons either. The Spaniard has cut an increasingly frustrated figure on the bench and he has made that very clear in the recent times with his awkward expressions, something which has caught the public eye.

Reports suggest a miserable lack of gametime (he has played only 515 minutes in the league out of a possible 1447) will foster a move through the Bernabeu exit door really soon, while his “ugly gesture” of storming into the dressing room instead of taking part in the lap of honor following the CWC victory has served to add more fuel to the fire.

Isco is a frustrated man these days. And with each passing game on the bench, the displeasure is going to intensify. But with a fairly long holiday break ahead of him, he must really look for some tranquility. Or ask Santa to gift him one.
