Yannick Carrasco

Mercedes AMG


The Atlético Madrid star photographed as he arrives for training for the Belgium national team. The robust and tricky winger has been spotted driving around in a Mercedes AMG during his time in the Spanish capital.

Born in Vilvoorde, Belgium, in 1993, he was installed in Stade Everois’ youth system as early as six-years of age. Over a decade later, in 2010, he graduated from the highly regarded academy of Belgian Pro League outfit KRC Genk. A footballer of considerable skills coupled with the ability to play multiple positions on the pitch led to an immediate move to French club AS Monaco. Yan played over a century of games for The Monégasques, helping the club gain promotion to Ligue 1 as well as repressing them in European competition. In 2015 the Belgian transferred to La Liga club Atlético Madrid, and under the stewardship of coach Diego Simeone transformed himself into one of the world’s most versatile left-sided player. A half-a-decade stint in the Spanish capital has seen the Belgian wide-man help Atleti capture the La Liga title, UEFA Europa League and finish runner-up in the UEFA Champions League to eternal rivals Real Madrid. Yan has represented Belgium on 54 occasions with the Red Devils finishing third in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
