Thomas Partey apologizes for Atletico Madrid’s setback against Real Sociedad

The Ghana international speaks on the league meeting between Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad

Atletico Madrid star Thomas Teye Partey is sorry for Thursday's crashing defeat to Real Sociedad in La Liga.

It was a bad day at the office for the Red and Whites as they slumped to a 3-0 reversal at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta.

Willian Jose opened the scoring in the 27th minute, before Juanmi added a second half double to condemn Diego Someone's men to their fourth league loss of the campaign.

“We have to apologize to the fans," Partey said.

"We must forget about this match and think about the next.

"They played well and took advantage of their chances.

"We have to pick ourselves up and keep fighting.

“We want to win all the matches that remain and see what happens.

"We have a philosophy that takes us game-by-game.

"We have to go game-by-game and think about our game against Betis."

Atletico still sit second on the table behind Barcelona, but now have the point difference between them and third-placed Real Madrid cut to three, with five rounds of matches to go.
