Thomas Partey marked his 100th La Liga appearance for Atletico Madrid with a solid display in Saturday evening’s 0-0 draw with fierce Real Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Los Colchoneros had lost 87 times to Los Blancos in the Spanish top-flight, the most defeats by a single opponent, and Partey’s brilliance in midfield ensured it didn’t become defeat number 88.
The 26-year Ghanaian was simply sublime, recording a 95% passing accuracy from 38 out of 40 total passes in the first half alone. He had a 100% duel success rate in the opening period, winning four out of four, and also made four recoveries.
