Lionel Messi pays tribute to Tottenham's Cristian Romero following ARG's win over Australia FIFAWorldCup
The Paris Saint-Germain star was at his scintillating best and was unsurprisingly named man of the match.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner was asked who else was deserving of the award to which he replied: “Tough one, I always say we were all on top form. If I had to single out someone today, [Nicolas] Otamendi and Cuti Romero have been impressive. “They have been key players in each match. Once again, their defence was impressive. But everyone deserved it because we gave it our all.
Romero has featured in all four of Argentina’s games in Qatar and like a number of his teammates, the defender has turned around a stuttering start to the tournament.
