"I have to say in my favour that calling the dog Messi was more my brother and dad's idea than mine. I'm cleaning my hands with it [the naming of the dog], I'm a Madridsta and that's that. I don't walk him anyomore, imagine me calling him Messi in the streets," said Isco, who has been linked with a possible transfer this summer.

Isco also spoke about the upcoming Champions League final against Atletico Madrid. "We want to bring the Champions League home, it's everyone's dream. My sweepstake is 2-0," he said, before admitting the sacking of Rafa Benitez was needed in January: "The season wasn't going well and we needed changes, it was what everyone needed."
