Club career

Born in Alcoy, Alicante, Valencian Community, Carrasco was a product of the FC Barcelona youth system, and quickly made a name for himself in La Liga and Europe, with a brilliant display of creative dribbling. Having made his debuts with the first team during 1978–79, he also shone in that season's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final, a 4–3 thriller extra time win against Germany's Fortuna Düsseldorf.

After more than 300 official appearances and nearly 50 league goals scored for the Blaugrana, winning the 1984–85 league title, Carrasco spent three seasons with Ligue 1 club FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, retiring after a short stint with UE Figueres, in a return to Catalonia. Subsequently, he became a manager: in 2005–06 he finished the season with Atlético Malagueño, with the Andalusia team eventually being relegated from the second division. In the 2007–08 campaign, he coached lowly Real Oviedo.

Having first appeared for Spain in a friendly with Romania on 4 April 1979 (2–2 away draw), Carrasco went on to gain 35 caps with five goals, being selected for UEFA Euro 1980 and 1984 (where he played all five matches for the runners-up, scoring from the penalty kick spot against Romania in another tie, 1–1).
