He arrived from Malaga at the Santiago Bernabeu nine years ago. He showed his skills in the shirt of one of the biggest clubs in the world. There were oscillations in his game, but with Real Madrid he won five Champions League medals and three La Liga titles, among many other trophies. Now he decided to say goodbye – after the expiration of the contract on June 30, Isco will leave the Royal Club.Considering that the end of the elite competition, in which he did not play, put an end to the season, Isco decided to say goodbye to the club and the fans.##EDITORS_CHOICE##He addressed the public via social networks, and in his post he recalled the beginnings, but also used the opportunity to send an indirect message to Kylian Mbappe. After several months of saga, the Frenchman decided not to move to Madrid as a free agent, but stayed in Paris Saint-Germain, with whom he signed a new contract.”When I was in Malaga, I knew I had to go. They connected me with other teams, but then Real Madrid knocked on my door. No one should say NO to Real, although there are always exceptions.” said the 30-year-old footballer.Isco has officially announced that he’s leaving Real Madrid on a free transfer.Nine years, 19 trophies and a lifetime of memories 🤍 pic.twitter.com/jVEArTtNbW— GOAL (@goal) May 30, 2022 In addition to the title, he has 353 Los Blancos appearances behind him, as well as 53 goals scored.”I remember people telling me that Madrid hadn’t won the Champions League in years and would fall. And then came the La Decima (the tenth title). Everything else is history. Nine years later, my time at the club came to an end, allowing me to fulfill my boyhood dreams. At the same time, I won more titles than I could have ever imagined, played with the greatest players, met amazing people. It was f***ing great here and no one can take it away from me.””I am looking only at the positive, I hope you will too. I want to thank my teammates, coaches, professional staff, physiotherapists, all the workers from Valdebebas and the Santiago Bernabeu for everything we have done, the love and support. To the fans who accepted me in an amazing way from day one and followed this team all over the world”.(2.10) Canon Yaounde (3.00) Apejes Academy (3.70)We are looking at the positive, of course, but there is a minor smidgeon on Isco’s Santiago Bernabeu career. Remember at the beginning of the article we said that Isco won five Champions League titles? Well, he may have got the medal and got the chance to lift the trophy a few days ago – but his official resume will have only four continental trophies recorded as he did not play a single second in Real Madrid’s latest victorious campaign. The same unfortunate fate followed the reserve goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.
