And to think some fans wanted him to leave before this season started...
Isco's performance may have bee worth a league title for Real Madrid, as the Spanish ace carried the team on his shoulders to secure a win against Sporting. Los Blancos had to come from behind twice, as Cop and Vesga gave the hosts a 1-0 and 2-1 leads. Isco scored the first equalizer for Zidane's men, dominated the pitch with his dribbling skills, and ultimately scored a last-minute screamer to give the Spanish giants a 3-2 win, and extending their lead in La Liga to six points, with Barcelona playing later today.
His game-winning antics came as the game entered stoppage time. After getting a hold on the ball, Isco drilled his shot into the back of the net with a surgeon's precision. (Content may be geo-restricted)
GOOOOOOOOOOAL!

IT'S LATE BUT @isco_alarcon DOES NOT CARE. MORE MAGIC FROM HIS FEET! #LaLiga https://t.co/WEn759oOK9
In fact, some of Real Madrid's supporters can't believe the team hasn't agreed a new deal to keep the playmaker around. Demands for a new contract and praise is what Isco got after today's performance, and we leave those comments below for your viewing pleasure.

Came back home to see Madrid won in 90th minute. Isco with 2 goals. We can talk about luck all we want but their backup players decide games

We need to sell James lol. 70m for him would be great. Isco is clearly more talented than him, specially on the ball.

Thankyou from the bottom of each and every Madridistas heart.
You saved us. We will never forget this. NEVER.
Florentino Perez better be on his knees in the tunnel with a contract in his hand for Isco

If you don't like Isco's game you simply don't like football.

Isco has been on another level altogether today. Incredible. One of the best individual performances I can remember.
