Real Betis midfielder Isco has recalled his final months with Real Madrid.

Isco admits he was eventually pushed out of the club.

He told Canal Sur Radio's El Pelotazo: “I was there for many years, I was very happy. Things happened with coaches, that no matter what I did I wasn't going to play. I lacked being mentally prepared, there were moments when instead of giving a little more I broke down.

"They let me know that no matter what happened I was going to play little. I had to leave Madrid, because I felt like I didn't have to be there anymore. But taking that step of leaving the best club in the world is complicated, getting the right moment when you have to take that step of leaving is even more difficult.

"They are decisions that one has to deal with forever."
