Upon learning that Lionel Messi had been crowned FIFPro Men’s Player of the Year at The Best awards, Tottenham’s Cristian Romero congratulated him with a message.
As it turns out, the Spurs No. 17 and the Paris Saint-Germain No. 30 both played in Qatar as Argentina won the World Cup for the first time since 1986.
Romero and Messi played in all seven games together, including the exciting triumph over France in the final, and the Spurs defender has now written a message to his fellow South American on Instagram.
As the PSG striker expressed gratitude to family and friends in response to his award, the 24-year-old Tottenham star sent Messi a number of emojis, including a heart and the applauding symbol.
Argentina beat France in the World Cup final on penalties after a 2-2 draw, with two goals from Lionel Messi.
The French international, Kylian Mbappe, scored three times in the World Cup final, joining Sir Geoff Hurst as the only other player to accomplish this feat.
Incidentally, before the South American goalkeeper made a £42 million transfer to Spurs from Atalanta, Messi pushed for Barcelona to acquire Romero.
The Athletic said that Messi wanted his countryman to join him at Camp Nou, but Barcelona did not believe he was worth the money and was pleased when Tottenham jumped in.
The Spanish powerhouses lost out on having two of the finest Argentines in the world right now in Catalonia since Messi is no longer playing for them. Fans of Tottenham Hotspur will not give a hoot. Due to Barcelona’s doggedness, Tottenham was able to capture a magnificent player who, after a promising start to his career in English football, is only going to improve.
