Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane hailed Isco's performance after victory over Deportivo La Coruna.
Stand-ins Isco, James Rodriguez and Marco Asensio all shone in the 6-2 win.
"He [Isco] has been tremendous, he can do things that few others can, and he showed that on the pitch," Zidane explained to reporters after the game.
"We are very happy for all of the players, there are a lot who don't always play and I am very happy for them.
"I enjoyed it, with very attacking players we still had balance.
"We had a lot of quality, James, Marco and Isco were very good.
"Though we conceded two goals, this is football."
