An Argentine journalist called Gaston Edul took to X to state that Tottenham handed Arsenal an advantage by allowing Romero and their other stars to return from international duty independently.
National federations are responsible for arranging travel for their players to and from international duty, however some clubs offer private travel solutions in order for their players to return home more promptly and comfortably.

Translated by Google from Spanish to English, Edul posted: “Tottenham lost to Arsenal again.
“It does not end up consolidating itself to fight because it is not in the details.
“It was the only Premier League club that brought back its players from their own national team on its own and without its own logistics, as decided by its leaders.
“It gave it an advantage because its players arrived with less rest than the rest: Cuti Romero played with a feverish squad.”
That post was reposted by the Tottenham and Argentina defender, before being promptly deleted, however it’s unclear whether the repost was intentional.
Romero was beaten in the air from a set piece by Gabriel Magalhaes as Arsenal secured a 1-0 win.

Postecoglou said: “I know, for some reason people think I don’t care about set-pieces and it’s a narrative that you can keep going on for ages and ages. I understand that.
“Like I said, we work on them all the time like we do for every other team. You know that they’re a threat.
