Lionel Messi thinks Cristian Romero, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur and the Argentina team, is really, really good!
The football player who used to play for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain says that right now, Cristian Romero from Tottenham Hotspur is the very best defender in the whole world! This was reported in The London Evening Standard.
Lionel Messi, who used to play for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, now plays for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. He also plays alongside Cristian Romero from Tottenham Hotspur when they both represent the Argentina national soccer team.
Both Messi and Romero played really well for Argentina in a game against Ecuador during the CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup qualification.
Messi admires Tottenham’s Central Defender Cristian Romero.
Messi scored a very nice free kick to win the game, and Romero, who is 25 years old, was solid in defense for Argentina.
Romero was really good at stopping the other team from scoring. He was smart and fearless when he tried to take the ball away from the other players.
Messi said this about Romero: ‘In my opinion, he is the best defender in the world at the moment.’ You played very well tonight, and you are the best player in the game.

Romero Will Remain Player for Tottenham
Cristian Romero has faced some doubters in the Premier League, but when Lionel Messi says he is the best defender in the world, that is a really big deal.
Messi is one of the best players ever, and when he says Romero is the world’s top defender, it really shows how great Romero is, and that goes a long way. The defender has played 53 games in the Premier League during his career.
Romero has scored three goals, he has helped with one assist, and he has prevented the other team from scoring in 13 of those matches.”
And in another development, Darren Bent, a pundit on TalkSPORT, said he would not want Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to get Richarlison from Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur.
Bent, who used to play for Tottenham Hotspur and is a strong fan of Arsenal, has mentioned that he’d prefer to see Folarin Balogun at the Emirates Stadium rather than Richarlison.
Darren Bent Does Not Think it is a Good Idea for Arsenal to Have Richarlison, the Forward from Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal went on to sell a player named Balogun, who plays for the USA national team. He now plays for AS Monaco after a transfer in the summer.
The talkSPORT expert shared his own opinion about Richarlison when they asked him which player he would not want Arsenal to sign the most: Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho, Richarlison, or Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk.
Bent chose the Brazilian forward who earns £175,000 per week, according to SalarySport.” It is interesting because Richarlison mentioned in September 2022 that Arsenal wanted to sign him before he joined Tottenham in the summer of 2022.
The Brazilian forward mentioned that even Chelsea was also interested in signing him. The pundit said on talkSPORT, during a particular show at 5:45 pm on September 7, 2023, ‘Richarlison? No, I’d choose to have Balogun, who just left. I’d choose Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus ahead of him.’
