Now known is Harry Maguire’s five-word message to Cristian Romero during Wednesday night’s intense Europa League final match. Tottenham eventually ended a 17-year trophy drought at the San Mames Stadium by defeating Manchester United 1-0. Both Premier League powerhouses were in dire need of trophies to cover up the humiliations of a disastrous home campaign.
The Red Devils, who are currently among the poorest teams in the club’s history, are only one position above them in 16th place, while the north London team is currently ranked 17th in the league. In Europe’s second-tier competition, the pairing of two injured heavyweights produced a cagey, uninspired match. However, it only took an own goal from Luke Shaw to put the teams apart, enabling Ange Postecoglou to fulfil his second-season trophy pledge.
There were many fights and fireworks throughout the game, especially in the second half when Spurs battened down the hatches and United hurled the kitchen sink. However, Maguire and Romero were seen arguing angrily throughout the first half, which was when the first indications of needle appeared. The United defender’s five-word jab has now been made public.
What Harry Maguire Said To Cristian Romero
The Englishman was quick to remind his counterpart of his responsibility
Romero was grounded following a confrontation with Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United during Wednesday night’s final, and Maguire made fun of him while he was on the ground. The United center-half approached Romero, who was still on the ground with his hands covering his face, and seemed to make fun of the World Cup winner while he was there. According to the Mirror, he said to the Tottenham defender:
The United defender is well aware of the need of maintaining composure under pressure because he has previously served as captain of both his club and his nation. However, their hostility remained constant throughout the night, and at full-time, they were spotted confronting one another. View the incident below:
After securing a backdoor entry into the Champions League for the upcoming season, Tottenham must now build on their victory. For the first time since the 2014–15 season, Amorim’s team will not be participating in any kind of European play next season, and their victory further prolonged United’s road to redemption.
