Isco was a highly talented young player when he joined Real Madrid from Malaga in the summer of 2013. However, despite making 353 appearances for the club, he didn't quite meet the expectations that came with being one of the best young players in the world.

Isco has now spoken about his time at Real Madrid, particularly his relationship with former manager Santiago Solari. He has reflected on how his mental state impacted his game and his overall well-being.

In an interview, Isco explained that every coach values their players differently. He also acknowledged that when he was struggling mentally, it was reflected in his performance on the field. Isco stated that he was going through a tough time both on and off the pitch and didn't know how to recover from it.

Isco took responsibility for his struggles, saying, "The only person responsible for my failure is me."

Isco is now 33 years old and is focused on his current role at Real Betis, looking to the future and learning from his past experiences.
