Luke Shaw‘s own goal was enough for the North London outfit to salvage some joy from a miserable season.
Like Spurs, Manchester United have endured a torrid season, which has seen Erik ten Hag sacked and a bottom-half finish in the Premier League confirmed.
The emotion was clear after the full-time whistle as the Red Devils collapsed to the ground after losing their last chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
Romero, 27, made sure to show his true colours as he went around the entire Man United team to console the players.
He was pictured holding compatriot Alejandro Garnacho and speaking to Diogo Dalot.
The Argentine is often vilified after some of his antics in the Premier League.
But after seeing his sportsmanship on the San Mamés pitch, fans hailed the defender on social media.
One posted: “Romero, so often cast as the villain, is the first Spurs player to break away from celebrations and go to console United players.”
A second commented: “Good sportsmanship there.”
A third added: “You like to see this.”
Harry Maguire was less interested in speaking to Romero
Maguire pushed him away from the Man United end
A video taken from the stands caught the moment that Romero consoled Andre Onana.
The goalkeeper was slumped on the floor as he was approached by the Tottenham ace who checked up on him.
He did try to shake hands with Harry Maguire, but the Man United star refused.
Maguire then followed Romero and pushed him away from his team-mates.
As Romero tried talking to Dalot, Maguire could be seen telling him to go away as they were seperated by secruity.
Romero was not the only member of Tottenham to console the Man United players.
Manager Ange Postecoglou showed his class as he spoke to Leny Yoro and Bruno Fernandes.
