Atletico Madrid's head coach Diego Simeone did not hold back in praising London Tottenham's defender Cristian Romero:

"I speak from the perspective of an Argentina fan. I appreciate C. Romero's personality, his character, his defensive work, and his football skills with the ball."

"As a fan of the Argentina national team, I have seen him play more for La Albiceleste than for the Spurs, but I am a very big fan of his."

"We will play as we usually do at home, but Tottenham will also seek to start the match intensely and put on a show for their fans."

27-year-old Cristian Romero has been with Tottenham since 2021 and has scored 13 goals in 153 matches.

After this season, the Argentine is expected to leave this team.
