Red Card in World Cup final Fernandez was shown a red card in stoppage time of the second half of Sunday's match against Spain.

Impact Fernandez would have a moment to forget as the match reached stoppage time Sunday, as the midfielder would dive in on a late and unnecessary tackle, leading to his second yellow card following another for dissent earlier in the contest. This is a rough way to end his 2026 World Cup, as he will now leave his team down a man in a match in which they have struggled to control the ball. He ended the tournament starting in all seven appearances, being a critical piece of the midfield throughout the World Cup while adding two goals. He will now return to Chelsea for the club season, where he will be tasked with leading that midfield as well.

He figures to slot in central midfield in Argentina alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Rodrigo De Paul, though a scenario in which he plays in a more advanced role can't be ruled out. Fernandez should be a coveted fantasy option in midfield due to his ability to impact the game with ease on both sides of the ball.
