Real Betis’ Isco overtakes Barcelona & Atlético stars in key statistical category | OneFootball

Real Betis star Isco has on Monday kept alive what has been nothing short of a stellar recent spell of individual form.

This comes owing to his exploits in Betis’ La Liga meeting with Girona.

Fresh off booking their place in the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League last week, the Blanquivermells this evening shifted focus back towards matters on the domestic front, by way of a trip to Montilivi.

Isco for his part featured from the off, from his customary berth in attacking midfield.

And as alluded to above, the Spanish international, amid a recent run of excellence, tonight only continued to shine.

After first laying on the assist for Johnny Cardoso’s opener, Isco soon turned goalscorer himself, to guide Betis into an unassailable 3-0 lead.

And such exploits have since given rise to an altogether head-turning statistic.

As revealed by Opta, the former Real Madrid man, with eight to his name, has now racked up more direct goal involvements than any other La Liga player since matchday 25:
