Former Real Madrid midfielder Isco played a crucial role in Real Betis\u2019 2-1 victory over Los Blancos, haunting his old club with a goal and a stellar performance. The highly anticipated La Liga clash at Estadio Benito Villamar\u00edn saw Isco take center stage, proving his resurgence in Spanish football.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid started strong, with Brahim D\u00edaz opening the scoring in the 10th minute. However, Betis quickly responded, as Jo\u00e3o Cardoso equalized in the 34th minute. The turning point came in the 54th minute when Isco, showing flashes of his vintage brilliance, found the net to put Betis ahead. His celebration was filled with emotion, further igniting the passionate home crowd.<\/p>\n
Since leaving Real Madrid in 2022, Isco has revitalized his career at Betis, becoming a key figure under Manuel Pellegrini. This victory not only dented Madrid\u2019s title ambitions but also reinforced Betis\u2019 push for European qualification. The result adds to Madrid\u2019s recent struggles in away fixtures, raising concerns for manager Carlo Ancelotti as the season progresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
