Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was happy to count on Isco in victory at Alaves.

The midfielder provided the assist for Dani Carvajal's winner.

Zidane said afterwards, "We've never lost Isco. He's an important player, he's always shown that, and he has personality.

"He stands up to be counted in difficult moments and today he's done remarkably well again. The season is long, but we're happy because in the end winning these games gives you a lot of confidence and it's what we want: to continue growing as a team."
