This match secured Spurs’ place in the last 16 of the Champions League as one of the top-seeded teams. MOTM Christian Romero, as captain and central defender, was pivotal both defensively and in attack.
Cuti provided the assist for the opening goal just after half-time: Xavi Simons delivered a cross from a set-piece, and Romero headed it back across goal for Randal Kolo Muani to finish from close range. He was a constant threat from set-pieces and crosses, nearly adding more contributions.
Defensively, he was solid and composed, helping keep a clean sheet in a dominant team display. Stats from various sources highlight his impact:93-96% pass accuracy (e.g., 82/85 passes completed)
No fouls committed, no one dribbled past him
Romero was named Man of the Match by UEFA, with many sources and fans calling it one of his best recent displays. In post-match comments, Romero said it was a “fantastic away win” needed during a tough period for the team, emphasising unity.
This continues his strong recent form, with direct goal involvements (goals or assists) in his last four matches across competitions. Overall, a commanding, all-around performance from the Argentine defender against Eintracht Frankfurt, a defensive rock with an attacking threat.
