It has been noteworthy recently that Real Madrid have been releasing their team news two hours before games, much earlier than most clubs who stick to the unwritten rule of one hour before, and Carlo Ancelotti's reasoning could be down to a suspected mole in the dressing room.
Speculation has abounded as to the person behind leaked team news, and one accused party, midfielder Isco, has defended his name on social media. By releasing the starting line up and substitutes via the clubs own official channels earlier than usual, Ancelotti is believed to be avoiding Real Madrid being beaten to the announcement by the media.
Madridistas online have been discussing the potential source of the leak, with one Twitter user pointing the finger at out-of-favour midfielder Isco, but the Spaniard himself hit back to clear his name.
"It's not Isco, since I'm not in the squad and wasn't at the team talk, go direct your hate elsewhere! Saddos," tweeted Isco in reply to a Real Madrid fan.
