Regardless of how the 2022/23 campaign ends for Tottenham Hotspur, the season will always be a memorable one for Cristian Romero. A season like no other with the 2022 World Cup bringing leagues all across the globe to a halt in November and December, Romero got his hands on the world's most famous trophy as Argentina went all the way in Qatar.
Bouncing back from a huge shock in their opening game against Saudi Arabia, the Tottenham centre-back more than played his part as Albiceleste, led by Lionel Messi, got their hands on the trophy for a third time. On top of the world with his country, things have been rather different at club level for Romero since the season began back in August.
Outstanding in his first year at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the 25-year-old has not been able to maintain the same levels this time around. Not helped by a couple of injuries during the first part of the campaign as well as Tottenham's mixed form, the player has also not helped himself at times with his rash play.
