The former Real Madrid midfielder has given his opinion in the debate over whether Isco or the Welshman should start for Los Blancos on Saturday
Former Real Madrid midfielder Christian Karembeu has weighed in on the debate over whether Zinedine Zidane should start Isco or Gareth Bale in Saturday's Champions League final against Juventus in Cardiff, saying it would be a risk to go with the Welshman.
Karembeu feels Madrid would be better off starting Isco since Bale is not completely fit and lacks match sharpness, while the former has been in fantastic form of late. Karembeu put forth the 2014 Champions League final between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid as an example, as Atletico had to substitute Diego Costa early on after starting the striker despite concerns over his fitness.
