"Real" hero last night in Madrid, Isco, did not spare praise for his opponents for their fight, but emphasized that there is no better way to reach the final than by beating one of your fiercest rivals.
In the response match against Madrid's "Atletico," they tried to cling onto the game and were already leading 2-0 in the 16th minute, but Isco's goal in the 42nd minute dashed all "Rojiblancos" eleven hopes of reaching the final. With a total score of 4-2, the "Real" club moved on to the final, where they will meet Turin's "Juventus."
"We are very happy, because reaching the final for the second consecutive year is certainly not easy, especially when playing against such a strong opponent," Isco told "Marca" journalists after the game. "The taste is even better when you reach the final in this way."
"Our goal was a particularly painful blow to them - after that, they could not recover. When we missed two goals, we finally started playing our game.
"We are somewhat ashamed that we missed two goals without understanding what we were doing in the game," added Isco, who fought for a place in the starting lineup.
