Yannick Carrasco hails Atletico Madrid Champions League win

Yannick Carrasco hailed Atletico Madrid's 1-0 win over Champions League opponents FC Rostov.

The Belgian explained that his team had only been focused on Wednesday evening's match and that they were not considering the bigger picture.

"We are just looking at one game at a time," he told reporters after the match.

"Atletico have already secured nine points and now we must look ahead to the next Champions League match.

"We want to win them all."

It was his 62nd minute strike that proved to be the match-winner and the 23-year-old was asked how pleased he was to have followed last weekend's hat-trick against Granada with another goal.

"I'm very happy to have scored tonight and I hope to score even more, but the important thing is that the team won," he explained.

"But on a personal level it is also nice [to have scored]."
