A skillful and agile player on the field knows in and out of Atletico Madrid. The team hasn’t changed much since his departure two seasons ago. The player is known for his dribbling ability and possesses an ability to score from both inside and outside the box as the player has an eye for the goal.
On the international front, the 26-year-old attacker has 41 international caps for Belgium and has six goals to his tally. He played a pivotal role in Belgium’s third-place finish in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
With Atletico Madrid finding it hard to dominate the midfield and link both attack and midfield, Yannick Carrasco’s addition might be a sigh of relief for both the manager Diego Simeone and attackers at the club. After being heavily linked with Arsenal in the summer transfer window of 2019/20 season, Yannick Carrasco has joined the Spanish capital side. Is he the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle for Atletico? Only time will tell. Voice of your opinions below.
