Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi after the victory of the Argentine national team over Ecuador (1:0) in the opening qualifying match world Cup-2026 said what he thinks Cristiana Romero the best defender in the world.
I think he’s the best defender in the world right now. He played very well and in my opinion he was the best on the pitch. Having him behind me is the best thing that could have happened to me. He always pushes me forward because he always wants to play one on one with his opponent. I’m used to not looking back and that’s very positive for an offensive player.
