Argentine media outlets heavily criticized midfielder Enzo Fernández following his costly second-half red card, rating his performance among his worst as ten-man Argentina lost the World Cup final to Spain.

Argentine media delivered harsh verdicts on Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández following his red card in Argentina’s 1-0 World Cup final loss to Spain.

Leading outlets including Clarín, La Nación, and Olé awarded the 25-year-old low match ratings, calling it one of his worst performances.

Journalists noted that Fernández appeared exhausted, out of sync, and ineffective after shifting to a defensive midfield role.

Fernández received a second yellow card in stoppage time for a late challenge on Pau Cubarsí, having previously been booked for arguing with referee Slavko Vinčić.

Reduced to ten men, Argentina failed to register a single shot until late in extra time before Ferran Torres scored Spain’s winner. Pundits condemned the midfielder’s rash tackle, labeling the decision reckless at such a crucial moment.
