Cristian Romero displayed both fire and compassion in Tottenham’s 1-0 Europa League final win over Manchester United in Bilbao. While he clashed with United’s Harry Maguire during the game, Romero showed a softer side after full-time.
The Argentine defender was the first Spurs player to break from celebrations to console Red Devils players like Alejandro Garnacho, Diogo Dalot, and Andre Onana, earning praise online for his sportsmanship. Despite the Spurs’ struggles this season, Brennan Johnson’s scrappy goal secured the club’s first trophy in 17 years. Though Tottenham had just 27% possession and three shots, they held firm, thanks in part to a dominant midfield display from Yves Bissouma.
Meanwhile, Romero’s attempts at reconciliation were not welcomed by all, with Maguire pushing him away and security stepping in. Manager Ange Postecoglou also consoled several United players, including Bruno Fernandes and Leny Yoro. Fans hailed Romero, often labeled a villain, for his unexpected gesture of class on the night.
