Isco believes that Real Madrid’s good start to the season proves they can do without Cristiano Ronaldo.

Following the Portuguese’ move to Juventus over the summer, Julen Lopetegui’s side have begun their La Liga with three consecutive victories, scoring 10 goals in the process.

“Cris is an extraordinary player,” he told reporters. “He guaranteed you 40 to 50 goals. But if we win, they’ll say we don’t miss him and if we don’t win, they’ll say we do.

“We’re playing very well now; players who didn’t score as many goals last year are now filling their boots. We don’t miss him at the moment. I wish him all the best at Juve.”
