The Slow-Mo Version Of Isco's Nutmeg Against Juventus Is Just Stunning

Let's try and put Isco's masterclass against Juventus into a bit of perspective. In the 75 minutes he spent on the field of play, he attempted 54 passes and completed every single one of them. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.

It was a joy to watch the little Spaniard flourish in arguably Zidane's strongest side. Not only did he assist Ronaldo's goal in the third minute, but he was a constant threat against the experienced back line of Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli.

The fact that Isco isn't one of the first names on the Real Madrid teamsheet is baffling when you consider his influence in such a big Champions League tie.

It was an almost flawless performance from the Spaniard and one moment in particular summed up his time on pitch.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Marcelo played a simple pass to Isco, who humiliated Juventus winger Douglas Costa with the cleanest nutmeg we've seen in some time. It was just orgasmic.

The Champions League's official Twitter account has rewarded the world with a slow-motion version of the skill.

I mean, Cristiano Ronaldo took all the plaudits when he bagged that iconic overhead kick, but Isco's masterclass in the centre of the park deserves just as much attention.

Twitter certainly made their feelings known about the 25-year-old's stunning outing for Los Blancos:

Is Isco one of the most underrated players in world football right now?
