They don't have many minutes, but that's what makes a team great. "We did very well from the first minute to the last, Sporting had two chances and scored two goals, while we made many chances so the result is deserved".
Before the game, we were thinking only about Sporting, but now it changes to Bayern [Munich in the Champions League], and later El Clasico [against Barcelona]. This was a foretaste of the move which capped off a memorable display from Isco.
Real manager Zinedine Zidane handed league starts to Morata, Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio, with Nacho and Sergio Ramos the only surviving starters from Wednesday's 2-1 UEFA Champions League victory over Bayern Munich.
Sociedad's potent offense came out firing on all cylinders, but it was Messi who opened the game's scoring in the 17th minute with a sharply taken blast from outside the area that streaked into the lower corner of the net.
Just when it looked like the La Liga leaders had run out of time to conjure a victor, Isco drilled a low shot into the bottom left corner from the edge of the penalty area.
Leo Messi put Barca 2-0 up within 37 minutes, but a insane end to the first half saw Samuel Umtiti deflect an Inigo Martinez shot into the Barca goal before Paco Alcacer netted Barca's third, only for Xabi Prieto to make it 3-2 before the break.
"She asked me if I scored if I could make this gesture and that it signified I love you", Isco says in the video.
Trump Tweets: 'Things Will Work Out Fine Between The USA And Russia'
-Russian relations had reached such a low point, a Kremlin spokesman said . Trump said it was "certainly possible" though "probably unlikely".
Madrid had to twice come from behind against a rival battling to avoid relegation, with Duje Cop and then Mikel Vesga giving them the lead in the 14th and 49th minutes.
But Alvaro Morata headed Madrid level again in the 59th, and the pacesetters kept pushing until Isco netted the victor.
Isco has dropped his biggest hint yet that he will sign a new contract with Real Madrid. But the lack of a major role under Zidane has led to rumors he is seeking to leave the club.
"I've said that so many teams: I want to stay at Real Madrid for very long time".
"I always said that I want to stay here for many more years but I don't know why people get surprised about me wanting to play more minutes".
Osasuna's Salvatore Sirigu saved two late penalties by Carrasco and Thomas Partey.
