Atletico Madrid managed to break the resistance of their opponents when Partey teed off former Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata for a consolation goal at the death – albeit a red card given to Nardiem Arimi after 84 minutes.
In a post after the game, the Black Stars midfielder wrote, “Difficult game with personal mistakes but it is part of football. I will continue to work hard to help this team ?”.
Atletico Madrid are second on the table with seven points after the defeat.
