It was Christian Romero (27) who contributed greatly to Tottenham Hotspur's advance to the semifinals of the UEFA Europa League. Instead of Son Heung-min (33), who was unable to join the team due to a foot injury, he wore a 'cap armband' to play.

Romero, who started as a center back in the second leg of the 2024-2025 Europa League quarterfinals against Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Part in Frankfurt, Germany, at 4 a.m. on the 18th (Korea time), defended his team's 1-0 victory by playing devotedly throughout the game.
