Real Madrid boss Santiago Solari has opened up on leaving midfielder Isco, who was dropped for the Champions League clash with Roma on Tuesday, out of the team.
Madrid bounced back in style from their humiliating La Liga defeat at Eibar on Saturday, with Gareth Bale and Lucas Vazquez scoring in a 2-0 victory at Stadio Olimpico, although things could have been different if not for Cengiz Under's terrible miss.
Playmaker Isco, who has struggled with injuries this season, was not even included among the substitutes for the Group G encounter, but Solari revealed it was purely a tactical decision.
