Fans have condemned Jamie Carragher for his comments about Cristian Romero after Tottenham lost to Manchester City.
The former Liverpool defender laughed at the Spurs defender’s sadness when Tottenham lost to Man City and officially lost their ticket to the Champions League next season.
Commenting after the match on Sky Sports, Carragher hinted that the Argentinian player deliberately played badly to ensure that Arsenal – Tottenham’s great rival – would lose in the championship race.
“I think maybe Romero came out to prevent Arsenal from winning the Premier League title this year.”
Carragher joked about the situation where Romero made a mistake, but received mixed reactions from fans.
This statement from the Liverpool legend was not accepted by many supporters and they took to social networks to protest.
Complaints continued to flood in after this incident.
Another fan complained: `Carragher thinks Romero is fixing matches on live TV, what a shame`, while one fan was upset: `I don’t understand how Neville and Carragher can criticize
The Argentinian defender had an unforgettable match day.
While Romero was unable to prevent City’s opening goal, he became the center of another controversial incident later in the match.
The Brazilian goalkeeper took a long time to receive care from the medical team on the field after the strong collision, while Romero received a yellow card for his actions.
In the end, Man City won 2-0 after Haaland scored the second goal from the penalty spot, ending Spurs’ slim hopes of equalizing.
This victory helps Man City maintain the top spot in the Premier League rankings while the race to win the Premier League title has only one final match left.
In the final round of the 2023/24 Premier League, Man City will clash with West Ham, while Arsenal will face Everton.
