Chelsea handed Tottenham their inaugural Premier League defeat in a commanding manner. Spurs’s defenders, including Cristian Romero, failed to contain the relentless offensive threat from the PL giants. On this note, an Instagram star ridiculed the Argentine defender, while Lionel Messi praised him as the ‘best defender’ of this era.

Previously, La Pulga believed the Spurs star was the greatest defender after his exceptional performances with Argentina. Romero made a significant contribution to the national squad but failed to emulate his success in the domestic fixtures for Spurs. The renowned TikTok sensation didn’t let this instance fade away after Tottenham suffered a 4-1 loss to Chelsea.

Astrid Wett shared La Pulga’s remark on Cristian Romero with a comment, “Lionel Messi’s First and Only L”.

Wett, as a devoted Chelsea enthusiast, found this the best opportunity to criticize Romero’s potential that fell short in this Premier League tie.

Cristian Romero failed to impact against Chelsea

The former Genoa center-back was on the edge, delivering rough tackles against the Blues. Romero harshly challenged Levi Colwill in the early moments of the games, but the VAR did not show any interest. However, the Argentine’s crunching tackle on Enzo Fernadez with his studs in the 18-yard box was flagged for review by the video referee.

After a lengthy check from VAR, Romero was shown his marching order with an immediate red card. This led to Cole Palmer’s leveling the score from the penalty spot. Following this chaotic turn of events, Chelsea cemented the game in the closing minutes with Nicolas Jackson’s hat trick, thereby improving their standings in the Premier League.
