Thomas Partey featured as Atletico Madrid started the season in classic fashion with a one goal victory over Getafe at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The Ghanaian international lasted 65 minutes in the opening day win.

Trippier marked his competitive debut by crossing for Chelsea loanee Morata to head in the only goal of the game after 23 minutes.

Both sides had a man sent off. Atletico debutant left-back Renan Lodi was dismissed for two bookable offences in two minutes shortly before half-time - just four minutes after Getafe's Jorge Molina Vidal had received a straight red card.

In the 56th-minute, Morata missed a glorious opportunity to double hi side’s lead from the penalty spot after Joao Felix was brought down in the box.

Angel Rodriguez hit the bar for Getafe but they could not force an equaliser.
