At Barcelona they will never recognise how much they threw away when failing to make Isco one of their own.
To become the new Luis Figo, they had to make Isco do a Luis Enrique and wait out the final year of his Real Madrid contract, knowing that his release clause was out of the question.
Ultimately, they could not convince him.
Real had delayed their offer of a new deal but eventually the negotiations became mandatory as Los Blancos couldn't miss out on tying down one of the most talented players in Spain's footballing history.
Still not 26, Isco has won as many Champions Leagues as Raul and knows what it takes to win and win again, for which there is nothing like wearing the Madrid shirt.
At the Bernabeu, while there are the Alarconista fans of the player, there remain the Iscofobicos, his harshest critics.
Their motive is to doubt his magic, something which Zinedine Zidane has not done and with the crucial second leg against Paris Saint-Germain coming up, the coach is all set to trust Isco over Gareth Bale in his starting line-up.
In fact, Isco is priceless. Just ask Barcelona.

Isco is a great player , very talented and no doubt priceless . But i don't the problem of zidane to let him play in starting xi . He need more and more time to play . I don't want him to leave real madrid . but zidane is making such conditions that he will be forced to leave . He is very talented and have a great future ahead . I hope zidane(whatever time he is left with real madrid ) will let him play more instead of Benzema .
