Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez has broken his silence after being sent off in the World Cup final. The Chelsea ace was booked for dissent in the second half and then shown a yellow card for a reckless challenge on Spain defender Pau Cubarsi.
Fernandez's message to fans
Just over 24 hours since his dismissal, he took to social media and wrote: "As time goes by, you realise there is something much bigger than just a result. For years, this group has represented us in the best possible way."
"It teaches that competing isn't just about winning; it’s about giving your all for the jersey and never giving up. It has been a privilege to be part of a group that always stepped up, competed at the highest level, and defended these colours with pride, humility, and commitment."
Gratitude to supporters
"I want to thank all the Argentine fans. Thank you for always being there, for supporting us in every match, for the affection, for the unconditional support, and for making us feel at home anywhere in the world. Wearing my country's jersey is the greatest honor of my career, and I will continue to give my all every time I get to defend it."
