Ghanaian international Thomas Teye Partey has bemoaned Atletico Madrid’s narrow defeat to Juventus last night in the Uefa Champions League and has stressed that the Spanish side lacked a bit of luck.
In a round 5 match of the Group stage of the European inter-club competition played at the Juventus Arena, a solitary strike from Argentine forward Paulo Dybala handed the Old Lady a 1-0 win over the Rojiblancos.
Speaking in an interview after the defeat, Thomas Partey shared that his side played well but unfortunately lost because luck was not on their side.
“We did a good job from the beginning, the team worked well, we lacked a bit of luck. Sometimes they are football stuff, there are times that it comes in and there are times that it doesn't. We have to keep working”, the Black Stars midfielder said.
He continued “We knew it was going to be a difficult game, we left with a mentality of winning, we have never lowered our arms, the team has worked well and we are happy, I hope let the fate we need go out later”.
Thomas Partey and his Atletico Madrid side are second on the Group D standings of the Uefa Champions League and will progress to the knockout phase if they beat Lokomotiv Moscow in their final match.
