Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with Isco's performance in victory over Barcelona.
The midfielder was superb in the place of the injured Gareth Bale.
Ancelotti said: "Isco's work rate was fantastic. To beat Barcelona in the way we have, we need everyone to work hard. It's difficult to say who the best was, everyone played to a very high level. It wasn't easy to recover with just two and a half days after the Liverpool game. That means we are in very good physical shape. Today we can talk about Benzema, just as we can talk about all the players.
"It is important because we played against a very strong team, a difficult team. We have reduced the points gap in the table, which was our objective and we're all really satisfied."
