Enzo Fernández has responded to Argentina’s World Cup final defeat by stressing his pride in the national shirt and his commitment to keep giving everything for the team. Argentina lost 1-0 to Spain after Fernández was sent off late in the match for a second booking.
The Chelsea midfielder’s dismissal came in stoppage time after an earlier caution for dissent near the end of normal time. Spain went on to win through Ferran Torres’ goal in the 106th minute, ending Argentina’s attempt to claim back-to-back World Cup titles.
Fernández did not directly address the red card in his social media message, instead focusing on the meaning of representing Argentina and thanking supporters. Cristian Romero also posted about the disappointment of finishing second, while emphasizing the squad’s effort and need to rebuild.
The aftermath of the final may still carry consequences, with FIFA investigating possible disciplinary breaches following post-match scenes involving Argentina and Spain. Leandro Paredes also shared a message of pride in the team, though the reported incident involving him remains subject to review.
