No Ghanaian player left in the UEFA Champions League after Atletico Madrid's exit

Published on: 14 August 2020

No Ghanaian player will play a part in the last four of the UEFA Champions League following the exit of Thomas Partey's Atletico Madrid. 

The Spanish giants were shockingly eliminated from the competition after defeat to European minnows RB Lipezig on Thursday.

The Rojiblancos were beaten 2-1 by the Germans in Lisbon last night, with the Ghanaian an unused substitute due to injury.

The competition began with five Ghanaian player from the group stages, but the semifinals will see no player from the West Africa State.

Richmond Boakye-Yiadom (Red Star Belgrade), Joseph Painstil (KRC Genk), Majeed Ashimeru (Red Bull Salzburg), Kwadwo Asamoah (Inter Milan) were all eliminated at the group stages.

Partey has been integral in Atletico's progress in the competition, and it not surprising that his absence in last night's game was evident.

The 27-year old is a target of English giants Arsenal, and with his side's elimination, talks could continue following the Rojiblancos exit.
