Thomas Partey in action against Real Madrid
Arsenal fans were stunned by Thomas Partey’s exceptional performance against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday, April 8, 2025.
Some Gooners expressed doubt about replacing the Ghanaian, emphasizing that Partey’s quality is irreplaceable.
Partey’s current contract runs out at the end of the season with Arsenal yet to hold contract extension talks with him, indicating that his departure is imminent.
Many praised the 31-year-old for his midfield leadership and for winning Arsenal the battle in the middle as they secured a dominant 3-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Emirates.
Fans have also called for an appreciation post for Partey from Arsenal’s official account.
Partey dominated the midfield, inspiring the Gunners to a commanding win.
Declan Rice scored two phenomenal free kicks, while Mikel Merino added another to secure the crucial victory.
Arsenal will need another big performance in the second leg to progress to the semifinals.
The return leg is scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at the Santiago Bernabéu.
