What Tottenham star Cristian Romero did to Lionel Messi at full-time after Argentina vs Croatia

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero helped Argentina reach the World Cup final on Tuesday night as Lionel Scaloni's side overcame Croatia 3-0.

Lionel Messi converted a first-half spot-kick and watched Julian Alvarez end a strong solo run with a cool finish, before the skipper showed incredible nous and skill to tee up the Manchester City forward to wrap up a 3-0 win. Argentina will return to Lusail Stadium to face France or Morocco on Sunday, depending on who wins tonight's other semi-final.

It was delight for Spurs defender Romero but pain for his club teammate Ivan Perisic, who will soon return to north London to prepare for Tottenham's Premier League clash with Brentford on December 26.
