Isco has denied leaking information about Real Madrid’s lineups to the media. The 29-year-old midfielder, who has ended up on the second plan under coach Carlo Ancelotti, was suspected of this by a crowd of fans from the Royal. According to Spanish media, Ancelotti is looking for a mole in the dressing room who leaks his lineups to well-known radio stations well before the start of the games. When a fan suggested Isco’s name on Twitter, it hit back angrily.
Because Real’s lineups are always leaked so far in advance, Ancelotti reportedly decides to do it himself these days, until the mole is found. A Twitter account centered around los Blancos raises the question of who in the locker room is responsible for the leakage of inside information, to which a supporter responds: “Isco”. The defendant becomes aware and soon comes up with an answer.
† As expected Real Madrid announced the starting XI over 2 hours before kick-off because Ancelotti knows about the ‘mole’ in the dressing room who leaks starting XI to a well-known radio station. @defcentral #UCL

“It’s not Isco, because I was not called up (for the last Champions League match with Chelsea, ed.) and did not attend the team meeting. Send your hatred elsewhere! SAD!”, concludes the 38-times Spanish international. Isco, who like Gareth Bale and Marcelo is on a free transfer after this season, has really fallen out of favor in Madrid this season. Under Ancelotti, the technician made 14 matches in all competitions, in which he was awarded only 342 playing minutes. His last appearance dates back to February 6, when he got 65 minutes against Granada (1-0). Isco is linked to arch-rival Barcelona, while according to GOAL Fiorentina and West Ham United would also be interested.
