Real Madrid midfielder Isco insists they do not need Tottenham star Gareth Bale.

Isco says Real's squad is good enough without the Welshman.

"We've played really well, the team is really balanced but if he comes he'll be another plus, which is never a bad thing," said Isco.

"He's a great player. I think we've got a solid team, although he's a good reinforcement."
