Club career
Standard Liège
Carcela is a product of the Standard Liège academy, having joined the club at age five. He made his professional debut at nineteen, when he came on as a substitute for Igor de Camargo in the 81st minute. Standard won 2–0 against Kortrijk on 13 September 2008.[3] He later made his European debut in the last game of the group stage of the UEFA Cup against Stuttgart on 18 December 2008, coming on as a substitute for Wilfried Dalmat in the 65th minute of a 3–0 away defeat.[4] In his first season, the club won the league and Belgian Super Cup, with him making only twelve appearances.
Carcela began the 2009–10 season as a substitute, as Standard won the Belgian Super Cup for the second time running. He then scored his first goal for the club and made an assist, in a 5–1 win over Roeselare on 15 August.[5] Four weeks later, on 13 September, he scored twice, as the team beat Mechelen 3–0.[6] He then scored in the next match six days later, in a 3–1 win over Lokeren.[7] On 24 November he was sent off in the Champions League group match at Arsenal after he head-butted Cesc Fàbregas in the waning moments of the 2–0 defeat at Emirates Stadium.[8] As a result, Carcela missed two matches in the next European games.[9] This season proved a breakthrough season for Carcela, as he scored five goals in 44 appearances in all competitions.
In the 2010–11 season, Carcela's performances were observed by Zinedine Zidane from Real Madrid.[10] He made an impressive start to the season when he scored four goals in two games against Lierse on 6 August[11] and Lokoren eight days later.[12] He then scored three goals in three matches between game weeks 10 and 12, as he helped the club humiliate Anderlecht in a 5–1 win;[13] then scored another in a loss against Genk on 17 October;[14] and a 2–1 win against Gent a week later.[15] At the end of 2010, Carcela was listed among the 100 best young players in the world by Don Balón.[16]
On 17 May 2011, he was on the receiving end of a kick in the face from Chris Mavinga while both players were tussling for the ball in a league match against Genk, which left him with several facial fractures and broken teeth.[17] After the match, Mavinga apologised to Carcela for his actions.[18] Meanwhile, that season, Carcela would help the club progress in the Belgian Cup by scoring in the second leg of the semi-final, as Standard Liège beat Gent 4–1 to reach the final. Carcela had surgery to treat the injury he sustained from Mavinga.[19] He described the incident as the "most difficult period of his life" because he feared that he could have died.[20] As a result of having surgery,[21] He missed the final of the Belgian Cup, in which his team won 2–0 against Westerlo. By the end of the season, Carcela had made 44 appearances in all competitions and scoring 14 times, making him the club's top scorer of the 2010–11 season.
Anzhi Makhachkala
In September 2011, Carcela moved to Russia by joining Anzhi Makhachkala for €5.7 million, where he signed a four-year contract.[22] Upon joining the club, he revealed that Spartak Moscow offered a wage double what Anzhi offered.[23] However, Spartak Moscow's sporting director, Dmitri Popov, denied the claim, suggesting he joined Anzhi because of his religion. Makhachkala, capital of the Republic of Dagestan, has a large Muslim population and Carcela joined with his compatriot teammate Mbark Boussoufa.[23]
In his first season, Carcela made only eight appearances, because of his injury concerns and his upcoming commitments in the African Cup of Nations.[24][25] At one point, Carcela played in the centre forward position on 1 April 2012, in a 1–0 loss against Rubin Kazan.[26]
In his first full season, Carcela saw his future at the club in doubt and considered leaving the club if he did not get enough playing time, and the club management considered selling him.[27] As a result, he was suspected to be moving to Udinese[28] Despite this situation, he scored his first goal for the club, in a 1–0 win over Amkar Perm on 5 August 2012.[29] In the UEFA Europa League play-off round, Carcela-González scored again, as Anzhi thrashed AZ 5–0, beating them 6–0 on aggregate.[30] From there, Carcela had an extended run in the first team that he considered a step forward in his career.[31]
In August 2013, following restructuring at business level, Anzhi chose to transfer list its whole squad, including Carcela.[32] Following this, he expressed a desire to leave the club, and was rumored to be moving back to Standard, or to Roma,[33]Marseille, Toulouse or Nice.[34]
Return to Standard Liège
After two years in Russia, Carcela returned to Standard Liège on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[35]
On 8 December 2013, after Oud-Heverlee Leuven's Bjorn Ruytinx committed a bad foul on Carcela and then appeared to be laughing, Carcela got up, punched him in the face, and was sent off.[36] He received a four-match suspension.[37] He scored in a 1–0 against Charleroi on 15 February 2014.[38] Carcela then scored his second goal of the season, in a 1–0 win over Anderlecht on 30 March 2014.[39] In the last game of the season, he scored for the third time of the season, in a 1–0 win over Gent, but Anderlecht's victory gave them instead of Standard the title.[40]
Benfica
On 13 June 2015, Carcela signed a four-year deal with Portuguese champions Benfica.[41] He debuted for the team on 23 August in a 1–0 away loss at Arouca in the Primeira Liga,[42] and scored his first goal for Benfica on 16 October in a 2–1 away win at Vianense in the Taça de Portugal.[43] Two weeks later, he scored his first goal in the Primeira Liga, in a 4–0 league win at Tondela.[44] He was mostly used as a substitute as the Reds retained their title, and played four matches in their victorious Taça da Liga campaign but was an unused substitute in the final.[45]
Granada
On 31 August 2016, Carcela-González signed a four-year contract with Spanish club Granada.[46][47] He made his La Liga debut on 11 September as a 65th-minute substitute for Omer Atzili in a 2–1 home loss to Eibar, and five days later he scored his first goal, opening a 2–2 draw at fellow AndalusiansReal Betis.[48] Carcela finished with 24 games and five goals across all competitions while his team were relegated in last place.
Olympiacos
On 7 July 2017, Olympiacos officially announced the signing of Carcela on a three-year deal.[49] He was officially set for release from the club on 4 December 2017 as his performances and work rate did not live up to the expectations of the Olympiacos management,[50] but was reinstated to first-team training sessions on 18 January 2018 under the reign of Oscar Garcia.[51]
Return to Standard Liège
On the last day of the January transfer window, Carcela returned for third time in his career to Standard Liège. Carcela was out of the plans of former coach Takis Lemonis, however received a second chance when Oscar Garcia was appointed. Despite returning to the club's practices in recent weeks, Olympiakos decided to let the player go.[52] His former teammate Silvio Proto attributed Carcela's below-par performances for Thrylos to him being unsettled at the club.[53]
Carcela initially chose to represent his country of birth, Belgium, and even played two friendlies with the Red Devils,[55][56] but in December 2010 he changed his mind and decided to represent Morocco.[57]
In February 2011, Carcela made his debut with the Atlas Lions of Morocco against Niger in a 3–0 win for his new side, coming on as a late substitute and winning a penalty.[58] After making his debut, he spoke out on his decision to play for Morocco, saying that he is proud to represent the national team and that it felt "like a childhood dream".[59]
In May 2018 he was named in Morocco's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[62]
Personal life
Carcela was born in Liège, Belgium, to a Spanish father and Moroccan mother.[63] He remains in touch with his hometown.[64] His cousin Joachim Carcela is also a professional footballer.[65]
