On Saturday, Isco wrote on Instagram: "We are going to be parents!! And we are happier than ever, without a doubt the feeling that a son is the greatest in the world! Every day more excited and more eager to see the face of that beautiful child or that beautiful girl! Thanks @sarasalamo for being my girlfriend, my best friend and for making me so happy! I love you."

Meanwhile, Sara posted this picture (above) of Isco kissing her belly and said: "We've had a silly smile on our faces for some months now, even when morning sickness has become my most faithful companion. Our thrill is mixed with fear, insecurity - a first-time mum in my case. There is a desire to do things well and a wish to educate our baby with the best values, respect, tolerance and empathy."
