Real Madrid's Isco has taken some time out of his recovery to share a heartwarming newspaper clipping featuring his first ever interview, and it (controversially) reveals that Brazil and Barcelona icon Romario was the idol of his six-year-old self.

The midfielder is sidelined for an, as yet, undetermined period of time after being diagnosed with appendicitis. However, he seems to be keeping his spirits up if his Instagram is anything to go by, reflecting on his childhood by sharing a newspaper snippet from more than 20 years ago.

When asked what his hobbies were, he answered simply 'I like to play football,' before going on to say that he wants to be a footballer when he grows up, and that Romario is his idol.
