[Saba Sports News] According to British media outlets, Enzo Fernández posted a taunting social media update after Argentina beat England to advance to the World Cup final, only to delete it shortly afterward. Enzo Fernández scored the equaliser in Argentina’s 2-1 victory over England, helping his side seal the win. After the match, Argentine players celebrated by unfurling a banner reading “The Malvinas Islands belong to Argentina”, an act that could result in sanctions from FIFA. Meanwhile, Enzo Fernández reposted a photo showing himself laughing alongside Lionel Messi, with Oasis’ track Wonderwall attached as background music in a clear dig at England. The song has served as the unofficial anthem for English fans throughout this World Cup and is frequently sung by players and supporters to celebrate victories. After facing heavy criticism from fans, Enzo Fernández removed the repost. He later shared the exact same picture again, this time without Wonderwall as the soundtrack.
The editor believes that Chelsea also angered England supporters on social media. The club posted a picture of Enzo Fernández celebrating Argentina’s semi-final win, captioned simply “Enzo Fernández” alongside an explosion emoji. Chelsea later took down the post.
