'I don't feel like I won the Europa League'

In an interview with 'Niewsbald', the Belgium international said: ''I am very proud of Atletico, that they won a European title, I am happy for my former team-mates. I also think I contributed a little, although I really don't feel that I won that trophy, of course.''

Carrasco took the opportunity to reflect on his departure from the La Liga side. He said: ''I know what I am worth. I had to make a decision to be in the World Cup, for Atletico and for myself.''

As for his World Cup campaign this summer, the 24-year-old said: ''I'm still not 100% and, for me, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne are the important players. I have no problem recognising that. There are very good players in this team, I am happy to be part of the 23.''

He noted: ''I just tried to do my best in order to gain my spot in the squad but there are many talented players in my position.''

In addition, Carrasco wanted to highlight the challenge that Dailan Yifang faced in the Chinese Super League, he said: ''Almost all Chinese clubs had an advantage over us, because they worked with a European coach while we had a Chinese one that, with due respect, did not have as much experience. Now that we also have Bernd Schuster, things are going better."
