A Spanish journalist has drawn the ire of the Real Madrid star following his comments on the Champions League clash with the Italians
Isco branded a journalist "shameful" for his coverage of Real Madrid's Champions League quarter-final win over Juventus.
The Madrid star was angered by Spanish radio and television presenter Juanma Castano describing the European champions' controversial elimination of Juve on Wednesday as "a scandal" and "a robbery", following a late penalty given in Lucas Vazquez's favour at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The kick was converted by Cristiano Ronaldo past Wojcech Sczeszny in the Juve net, as Gianluigi Buffon was red-carded for his protests to referee Michael Oliver after the decision was made.
That strike meant Madrid advanced 4-3 on aggregate, cutting short a stirring comeback by the Serie A holders at the Bernabeu.
The assessment particularly frustrated Isco because Barcelona's stunning comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in last season's Champions League - complete with its own contentious decisions - was "historic" in the eyes of the same reporter.
Spain international Isco vented on Twitter, posting alongside footage of the analysis: "One profession, two measuring sticks - shameful."
Madrid have drawn Bayern Munich in the semi-finals as they look to win the Champions League for a third consecutive season.

every Madrid hater and Juve fans argument for why it shouldn't have been a penalty is off the depths of the earth ridiculous. seriously though you are all blinded with spite and non factual bias opinion that nobody can realize how stupid they sound. reasons for why the penalty should not have been called. 1. Juve played incredibly and they deserved extra time because they tied the game. 2. You don't call a penalty in extra time against a team who has just did that to tie the game how can you call a penalty on a team that did that they deserved to have a chance to win in extra time. am I missing anything ?

I am sick of reading posts about "false penalty" "penaldo" "refadrid" etc. Those using such words shall believe in bayern if they are a bayern fan, that their team can win this semi final. Juventus fans shall cheer up because their team played really well and guys it was a penalty given and cant be changed. PS- Barca fans, wtf are you worried about.

I am an Arsenal supporter but I must say that all these ugly comments about Oliver's correct and unbiased call are not only most unwarranted but they are disgusting and for most times out of colour.
