The mattress player started with France in the match that ‘Blues’ disputed before Denmarkfirst of the group stage of the League of Nations. It finished 1-2 in a result that the defending world champion did not expect.

The player of Atletico Madrid played catch from behind Karim Benzema and of Kylian Mbappégoing down on a good number of occasions to pick up the ball from the midfielders and try to contact the two forwards.

After eight minutes he tried it from outside the area, with a low shot that the Scandinavian goalkeeper stopped without problems. Beyond that he generated several key passes that did not end in a goal.

Roberto Martinez, Belgian coach, took out Carrasco in the second half, at 67 minutes, with everything against them. Although he tried with some remnant, obviously he couldn’t do much more.
