Romero acknowledges imperfect Spurs stint before moving to Atletico Madrid

Cristian Romero reflected on his five-year tenure with Tottenham, conceding he was not perfect but insisting he always played with full dedication. He recalled joining the club from Atalanta in 2021 and making 156 appearances, including the 2025 Europa League final victory that broke a 17-year silverware gap. In an emotional X post, Romero expressed pride in defending the shirt and gratitude to supporters, while also noting occasional controversy, such as his planned trip to Argentina during a relegation battle.

A knee injury in his last match against Sunderland ended his Premier League season. Atletico Madrid have secured his services for £34.2 million, and Romero signed off by saying a part of his heart will remain at Tottenham.
