Verratti - I suffered a lot against Isco

Italy midfielder Marco Verratti has admitted he "suffered a lot" against Isco during Spain's 3-0 win over Italy during their 2018 World Cup Group G qualifier fixture. 

Paris Saint-Germain's Verratti claimed that "not even [Lionel] Messi has come close to that level" when describing the performance of the Real Madrid playmaker.

"I suffered a lot against Isco," Verratti told reporters. "I was taken aback by his performance. Not even Messi has come close to that level."

Isco scored twice for Julen Lopetegui's side in their 3-0 victory over Italy at the Bernabeu
