Real Madrid midfielder Isco starred in his 200th victory for the club in the Champions League against Galatasaray on Wednesday night.

Zinedine Zidane’s side were in emphatic form against the Turkish side, sticking six goals past them without reply at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Goals from Karim Benzema (2) and Sergio Ramos partnered a stunning hat-trick from 18-year-old winger Rodrygo as the Spaniards retained pressure on Group A leaders Paris Saint-Germain, though it was another player who hit a landmark during the game on Wednesday evening.
Playmaker Isco has been sporadically used by Madrid this term, starting just two games all season (via Transfermarkt). His absence from first-team duties has not been helped by injury earlier in the campaign, though since returning he has still found it difficult to break into Zidane’s starting XI.
The Spain international appeared off the bench against Galatasaray, however, starring in his 200th victory for Los Blancos since joining from Malaga in 2013.
Many fans weren’t too bothered about congratulating him for the achievement on Twitter, however, with it seemingly obvious that large portions of the Madrid faithful feel as though his best days are now over…
Sell him asap

He isn’t better than anybody else we have sadly, unless he gets back into 2017 form there’s no way he drops fede or plays ahead of James/modric
