Football is a beautiful sport, and we, as viewers, have experienced many poetic moments over the years. The latest hilarious and entertaining moment occurred when Isco scored against Real Madrid and pulled off a knee-slide celebration. A player who spent nine years at a club lifted multiple trophies and continued a Madrista legacy didn’t think twice before celebrating in that fashion. And let’s be honest—that says a lot.
Isco Disco’s Loyalty
For years and years, Madrid fans chanted his name around the Santiago Bernabéu, defended him when he was benched, and loved him when he dribbled past defenders flawlessly.
Madrid fans gave him a nickname based on his dribbling style of putting defenders to the ground “Isco-Disco”. Isco forgot all this and celebrated like he won the Champion League when he scored for Betis. Madrid fans loved him, but loyalty? Love for the club? That doesn’t suit Madrid players. Isco was also like other Madristas who came to Madrid for the trophies, the spotlight, and the short-lived fame.
Now, at Betis when he wore a different jersey and reminded everyone that deep down, these Madrid players don’t bleed white and just enjoy the parade until it lasts.
Another example we have seen is of players like Di Maria and Bale. This is a pattern here that has been going on for years and years. The players only love Madrid when they are winning. But the moment the players leave, that so-called loyalty disappears faster than Madrid fans’ logic in the Messi-Ronaldo debate when the World Cup is mentioned.
