Carrasco: "Maybe we don't practice penalties enough..."
The Atlético player passed up the chance to claim a hat trick by missing a late penalty against Osasuna: "Right now, we need to get some rest", he told beIN SPORTS.
Yannick Carrasco contributed two of Atlético's goals in today's 3-0 win over Osasuna. And the Belgian could have claimed a hat trick had he not missed a late penalty at the Calderón. Thomas missed a second spot-kick just moments later which means Simeone's side have missed six out of their last eight penalties. Carrasco spoke to beIN SPORTS after the game.
Pleasing afternoon: "I'm very happy about the goals. I could have scored three but the keeper pulled out a great save to stop the penalty. The most important thing was winning 3-0 and the points we've gained".
