The Spain international has vowed that the Copa del Rey holders will do their utmost to overturn their two-goal deficit to Atletico Madrid.
Isco remains optimistic about Real Madrid's chances of reaching the Copa del Rey quarter-finals at the expense of Atletico Madrid.
Goals from Raul Garcia and Jose Gimenez helped Atletico to an important home win on Wednesday which puts them in the driving seat to reach the last eight and send the holders crashing out.
Isco, however, is confident his side can turn the tie around with the backing of the Santiago Bernabeu.
"The result makes it an uphill climb but it will be a different game at the Bernabeu," Isco was quoted as saying on the official Madrid website.
"There are 90 minutes left to play and we will try to turn the result around in the second leg with the help of our supporters. We can do it.
"Atletico rely on dead ball situations and they punished us that way again. We have to try and be focused in the return leg."
The attacking midfielder then went on to dismiss suggestions Madrid are in a mini-crisis after two consecutive defeats in 2015.
"It is worth remembering that before the run of 22 straight wins we also suffered two defeats in a row," he added.
"The team is in good form and we have to keep working."
