Isco perhaps played his best match with Real Madrid in their 3-2 win over Sporting Gijon, scoring twice including a last-minute winner.

Isco has been linked to a departure from Real Madrid as his playing time has been limited.

“I've already said many times that I want to stay here for a long time and I hope that is what happens," Isco said. "I've always been clear about what I want. I want to stay here a long time and I can't understand why people are so surprised that I want to play more. If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't say it."

Isco also talked about his love for the club.

“I'm in the best team in the world, there is no club bigger than Real Madrid and I feel very fortunate to be here."
