Win the America Cup from the United States meant enormous joy for the Argentina National Teambut nobody imagined and much less Enzo Fernandezthe big problem that would come after that. The Argentine midfielder was branded a “racist” for a controversial song that went viral.
In the midst of the post-title celebrations, Enzo appeared on an Instagram live intoning a very unfortunate phrase, which spoke of the nationality of the French, of African descent, and which directly involved Angola.
Given the huge stir this caused, Fernández’s colleagues came out to repudiate him. Many even expressed their opposition to what happened and deleted it from their social networks, which generated much more controversy.
It was there that Enzo, without hesitation, issued an official statement apologising. But what many were wondering was what would happen to the former River player once he travelled to London and was face to face with his teammates.

One of the versions that has come to light is that Fernández could receive a severe internal sanction, which ranged from not playing matches to a significant financial fine. However, the club decided to close the case.
