Isco fuming with Zidane hook as Real Madrid drop Celta Vigo points

Isco was visibly furious after being substituted during Real Madrid's 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo.

The midfielder started the game and was involved in both of Gareth Bale's two goals on the night.

On 77 minutes and with Real leading 1-2, Real coach Zinedine Zidane chose to replace Isco with Mateo Kovacic as he sought to close out the game.

Don Balon says Isco was upset with the decision and later exploded as Celta managed to grab an equaliser inside the final ten minutes.

Isco took Zidane's decision to hook him as another sign of his fallen status this season, where he was not considered for the El Clasico defeat to Barcelona before Christmas.
