Thomas Partey was on display for 90 minutes as Atletico Madrid earned a crucial 1-0 Uefa Champions League Group D win over Bayer Leverkusen at the Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday night.
It was a cagey affair for the bulk of the game and in the 78th-minute Alvaro Morata’s header from a Renan Lodi cross broke the deadlock.
It was indeed a scruffy win for the Spanish capital club who were without record-signing Joao Felix, and lost Jose Gimenez to injury in the 15th minute when he was replaced by Mario Hermoso.
