Isco's controversial gesture

Isco, looking at the public, seemed to make a gesture of disapproval. The images do not clarify whether his gesture was towards the fans or, on the contrary, towards the UEFA officials. 

Isco's moment of anger comes after a foiled Madrid attack, a common theme during their uninspiring defeat at home to Champions League minnows CSKA Moscow. 

 Isco received a ball inside the area and, in his shot attempt, the ball hit the foot of a defender. Instead of awarding a corner kick, the officials point to a goal kick. 

The entire sequence published by 'Movistar' does not clarify whether their gestures are addressed to the public or the referee, who should really have given Madrid the corner. 

Either way, aimed at fans or officials, this is not good viewing for Madrid fans who would rather not see one of their stars players vent his frustration in such a public manner.
