Enzo Fernandez has reaffirmed his commitment to Argentina after suffering the heartbreak of World Cup final defeat.

The 25-year-old Chelsea midfielder, whose red card for a second bookable offence in Sunday night’s 1-0 final defeat by Spain proved so costly, took to his official Instagram account as the dust settled on a near miss for the defending champions.

Fernandez, who made no mention of his premature exit in his message to supporters, posted: “As time goes by, you realise there is something much bigger than just a result.

“For years, this group has represented the team 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.

“I want to thank all the Argentina 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 honour of my career, and I will continue to give my all every time I get to defend it.”
