Atletico Madrid winger Carrasco struggling for Nations League motivation

Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco admits there's little motivation for today's Nations League game.

Belgium meet Italy in the third-place playoff.

“There's not a great spirit but it's part of our job," Carrasco said at a press conference. “We also need to know how to lose and get up again, this is part of our job. We must try to win the next game.

“In the first half, we were in control of the game, then it changed in the second. France remained solid, they closed the gap and after the 1-2, we had some doubts.

“We lost confidence, and, in the end, we lost the match. We have to forget about this match, but at the same time learn the lesson."
