Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero is on an impressive run of clean sheets at international level for Argentina.

Romero played the full 90 minutes as his country beat Jamaica 3-0 in a friendly to round off the international break.

As per Transfermarkt, that makes it ten clean sheets in a row for Argentina for Romero going into the World Cup.

The last time Argentina conceded with Romero on the pitch was in June 2021, when Colombia earned a 2-2 draw with them.

Romero on a run of ten Argentina clean sheets

Argentina are actually on a hugely impressive run as a team going into the tournament in Qatar, and have not lost for 35 games.

That is great form as they go in search of a first World Cup triumph since 1986, with Lionel Messi yet to get his hands on the trophy.

If they are to get over the line then it seems like Romero’s form and fitness could well be crucial in keeping it tight at the back.

Major international tournaments are seldom won by thrilling football, and plenty rests on who can be the best defensively in tight games.

Romero makes a huge difference to Tottenham when he plays and he will be looking to do the same for Argentina when the tournament gets underway in November.

His current run of clean sheets is stunning and if he can keep that going until the end of the year, Argentina have every chance of glory.
