Isco's 'disrespectful' ponytail incident confirmed there's no way back for him at Real Madrid... he was linked with Arsenal, Man City and Juventus but there's no chance Europe's top clubs will gamble on a player who looks well past his peak at just 28

Isco played 14 minutes for Real Madrid as they beat Getafe earlier this week. It would have been a few minutes longer, but for the player's vanity.

As one of Zinedine Zidane's coaching team was trying to explain tactical instructions before he entered the action, the attacking midfielder was far more interested in how his hair looked.

A television network timed Isco's 'adjustments', as he repeatedly wet his hair to smooth it into a ponytail, at one minute and 20 seconds. All the while, Zidane was waiting to make the switch.
