Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has been given huge praise by an international teammate.
The Argentine centre half, who won the World Cup with his nation in 2022, played against Ecuador this week.
Romero was vital for the champions, as they needed a Lionel Messi free kick to secure a vital narrow win.
Romero was in the centre of defence for Argentina, having started the season well with Spurs.
Post-game, talisman Messi took time during his interview to praise Romero for his outstanding displays.
For me, he is the best defender in the world right now. Amazing performance tonight, man of the match," he told Telemundo.
