It isn't a huge ask. We are 3 nil up. We don't need to be expressive. Partey is good at breaking lines to get our attackers in good spaces. We can play a different game with Merino at CM and Rice at #6. Close off the spaces and try to counter. There will be no excuses not to ho through, even without him.
I am confident in us to see it out, Partey or no Partey. We have Rice, Merino and Zinchenko to choose from in midfield at the very least.
The mission is clear score a goal or concede 2 or less.
That is my point. Not that Madrid aren't capable.
Without Partey in the middle that is a huge ask!
