Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Teye Partey delivered a five-star performance last night against Real Madrid in the Champions League and will definitely remember this game for the rest of his life.
The Premier League giants took a commanding 3-0 first leg advantage over Real Madrid in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League quarter-final phase last Tuesday at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners were the better side all evening and took the lead in the 58th minute, when Declan Rice curled the first of two excellent free-kicks round the Real Madrid wall into the corner of the net giving Thibaut Courtois no chance.
Rice again, scored his second of the night with a free-kick of equal quality 12 minutes later, bending another long-range effort into the top right-hand corner to leave Madrid stunned.
Mikel Merino then made sure it was a memorable night for the North-Londoners when he also placed in a shot into the bottom corner from inside the area just five minutes later after a nice Myles Lewis-Skelly assist.
Partey, who enjoyed the entire duration of the game, was at his usual best in the midfield of the Gunners, ensuring Madrid not to cause any havoc in the first leg tie.
Reacting to the win, the versatile middleman posted 'WHAT A NIGHT' on his official Instagram page and had some of his teammates and others reacting to his post.
Arsenal have not reached the semi-finals stage of the Champions League since the 2008-09 season, but they have given themselves a huge chance of progressing to the last four with this result.
The Gunners will travel to Spain's capital on Wednesday, April 16, for the reverse leg fixture against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
