Thomas Partey’s Atletico Madrid failed to gather maximum points in La Liga on Saturday as they were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw with Valencia at Wanda Metropolitano.
Los Rojiblancos headed into the international break with a goalless stalemate at Valladolid. There was an urgent need to close the gap on leaders Barcelona, who had won earlier in the day at Eibar.
