Prior to this, Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernández, after winning the Copa América title, sang a song with his teammates that was deemed racially discriminatory towards French players, sparking significant controversy. This behavior has now clearly upset the French players at Chelsea who play alongside him.
After helping Argentina retain their Copa América title, Enzo Fernández went live on the team bus, initially celebrating the victory and sharing joy with his teammates. However, someone suddenly started singing a song that racially discriminated against French national team players.
Although Enzo quickly ended the live stream, the controversial video had already been recorded and was widely circulating online. Now, Wesley Fofana, Enzo’s teammate at Chelsea, has shared this video on his social media, commenting, “Football in 2024: Unabashed racism.”
In addition to Fofana, it is reported that all seven French players currently playing for Chelsea have unfollowed Enzo Fernández on social media, and the French Football Federation has publicly condemned Enzo’s actions.
