Isco was the star of the show during Real Betis' impressive victory against Real Madrid. Not only did he score a goal, but he also assisted in another, securing the win for his team. However, despite his excellent performance, Isco felt the need to apologize to the Real Madrid fans for his celebration during the match.
The game started off well for the visitors, with Brahim Diaz scoring a goal in the first ten minutes. But Isco, who used to play for Real Madrid, played a crucial role in Betis' comeback. He delivered a corner that led to Johnny Cardoso's equalizer before half time. Then, in the 54th minute, he scored a penalty after a foul by Antonio Rudiger, and celebrated passionately in front of the home fans.
Even though Isco's celebration may not have been intended to provoke, he still wanted to express his regret to the Real Madrid fans. "I apologize for my celebration," he said. "Real Madrid will always hold a special place in my heart."
The victory for Betis was a major blow to Real Madrid's title hopes, as they now sit in third place in the league, behind both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Manager Carlo Ancelotti was disappointed with the result and admitted that the title may be slipping away from them. "This is a hard blow," he said. "We need to react and play better in the upcoming matches."
Ancelotti also expressed his disappointment in the team's performance, stating that they started off strong but lost control as the game went on. He acknowledged that Betis played better and deserved the win. This loss also adds pressure to Real Madrid as they prepare to face Atletico Madrid in the first-leg of the Champions League last-16.
"If we continue to play like this, we won't win on Tuesday," Ancelotti admitted. "Hopefully, this loss will wake us up and remind us of the importance of staying organized and focused." The defeat was certainly not an ideal preparation for the upcoming match against their arch-rivals, but Ancelotti remains hopeful that his team will bounce back and put on a better performance.
