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.
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.
