Spain forward Isco praised the trust that manager Julen Lopotegui instilled in him after he scored three goals, suggesting that he has yet to earn that same trust from Zinedine Zidane at club level Real Madrid.

They are 15 points adrift of league leaders Barcelona, and their only chance of silverware would be to win a third successive European Cup.
“I have the confidence of the Coach and maybe in Madrid (at club level), I have not won that yet,” Isco told reporters after the game, via Football Italia.
“I aim to be a starter for both my club and international team but the only way I can do that is to keep working hard.
“There are many great players at Real Madrid, maybe I am the problem.” NaijaBet.com
Isco has scored just five goals in La Liga this season, registering five assists and creating 41 chances. He was notably kept on the bench in the El Clasico fixture against Barcelona, which his side lost 3-0.
