Spain were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw with Portugal in their opening World Cup group match – and Liverpool fans on Twitter picked out midfielder Isco as someone they would love to see at Anfield in the future.
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo inevitably stole the headlines with his stunning hat-trick, which included a free-kick in the 88th minute to snatch a point.
Meanwhile, Diego Costa (two) and Nacho were on the scoresheet for for Spain in the game of the tournament so far.
However, Real Madrid and Spanish midfielder Isco was one of the standout players on display during the match, where he helped pull the strings in the centre of the park and turn in a World Cup masterclass.
The 26-year-old is a vital component for both club and country and is a pass master that keeps control of the tempo.
He is a 5ft 8in (source: Transfermarkt) playmaker that is likely to play a pivotal role in Spain’s Word Cup adventure and he is fresh off the back of helping Madrid win the Champions League.
Isco is an advanced creator that scored nine goals and supplied 10 assists in his 49 appearances for Madrid during the recent season.
Liverpool fans on social media are convinced that Isco would be a phenomenal talent at Anfield and have pleaded with manager Jurgen Klopp to plot an ambitious bid to sign him this summer.
Here is a selection of their best tweets:
