Isco has issued an apology to Real Madrid<\/a> fans for his celebration during Real Betis’ La Liga victory on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Betis came from a goal behind to beat Madrid 2-1 at Estadio Benito Villamarin and dent Los Blancos’ title hopes.<\/p>\n

The visitors made a superb start to the match and went ahead on ten minutes through Brahim Diaz, but former Real Madrid star Isco played a key role in Real Betis’ comeback win.<\/p>\n

The ex-Spain midfielder, who won three La Liga titles and five Champions Leagues during his nine-year spell at the Bernabeu, delivered the corner from which Johnny Cardoso headed home an equaliser before half time.<\/p>\n

Betis captain Isco then slotted home a 54th-minute penalty after Antonio Rudiger fouled Jesus Rodriguez before passionately celebrating in front of the home fans.<\/p>\n

Isco ran off with his team-mates before knee-sliding in front of the Real Betis supporters.<\/p>\n

While it did not feel overly provocative, Isco – who shared a warm embrace with Carlo Ancelotti after the game – still felt the need to apologise for his celebration.<\/p>\n

‘I apologise to Real Madrid fans for my celebration,’ he said. ‘I am very grateful to Real Madrid, they will always be in my heart.’<\/p>\n

The result leaves Real Betis sixth in La Liga, while Real Madrid stay third, level on points with Barcelona and two adrift of leaders Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n

Asked whether the title was slipping away from Madrid, a dejected Ancelotti said: ‘Yes, this is a hard blow. We have to react.<\/p>\n

‘Losing at this stage is very expensive, because all the teams are running and we… we didn\u2019t play well in this match.’<\/p>\n

‘We started well, but we were not able to maintain the initial rhythm, both in terms of attitude and commitment. We lost control against a team that played better and deserved to win.’<\/p>\n

The defeat was far from ideal preparation for Real Madrid ahead of the first-leg of their Champions League last-16 clash with arch-rivals Atletico Madrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘If we play like this we won\u2019t win on Tuesday, that\u2019s pretty clear,’ Ancelotti added.<\/p>\n

‘Hopefully, this will wake us up. It seemed like we were organized and compact in recent times and we weren\u2019t able to do it.’<\/p>\n
