He told Movistar: "I told Isco at the end, that he has a quality that makes the difference."
Meamwhile, on the game, Maresca also stated: "I expected what the first half would be like, because on Sunday we played until the 100th minute for a huge objective like the Champions League.
"And Betis played on Friday with 48 hours difference with us, so I expected that at the beginning it would be difficult for us. But we adjusted at halftime and in the second half we were better."
