28 years old and Yannick Carrasco already played his 400th professional match against Estonia. He brightened it up with a world goal. A bang from outside the box straight into the square.
However, he did so with his ‘lesser’ left. “So you see. My last at Atlético was also with the left. And normally I only use that foot to get on the bus. Sometimes, however, something beautiful comes out,” he laughed. “This one is definitely in my top five. So you can see what a player can do if he has some confidence. I’m physically top and it goes well with my club and with the national team. Fortunately, because otherwise I might kick less quickly and this beautiful goal would not have been scored.”
And was there good celebration in the dressing room? “Certainly. After the disappointment of the Nations League, a party with the team and with the fans was welcomed. And a fifth major tournament in a row is just very nice.”
