Enzo Fernandez involved in heated confrontation with Liverpool Fan After the Carabao Final

Enzo Fernandez was escorted away by a Chelsea teammate after being taunted by a Liverpool fan at Wembley.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has struggled since joining the club a year ago.

The London club shattered the British transfer record by paying Benfica about £107 million for the Argentine in 2023, but he has yet to live up to the expectations.

Fernandez, like Chelsea fans, was trying to put a positive spin on an otherwise disappointing season as they entered the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

Liverpool, on the other hand, had other ideas, as a 118th-minute header from Virgil van Dijk sealed the trophy for Jurgen Klopp’s side, leaving Chelsea disappointed at a missed opportunity.

Chelsea’s dejected players collapsed to their knees at full-time, and the last thing they needed was to be mocked as they went to collect their runners-up trophies.

That is exactly what happened when Mauricio Pochettino and his players walked the steps to the famed Wembley balcony.

On social media, footage has emerged of a Liverpool fan insulting Fernandez before the player reacts.

As Fernandez walked up the steps behind Mykhailo Mudryk, the fan exclaimed, “Enzo, unlucky lad,” before chuckling.

Enzo paused and stared at his tormentor for a second or two before a teammate led him up the steps and away from the possible flashpoint.

The fan found the entire event hilarious and continued to laugh loudly as the World Cup winner walked away.

It wasn’t the only time Chelsea was criticised for losing to a young Liverpool side.

Some fans accused Manchester City of ridiculing their former player Cole Palmer with an ill-times post on X.

Conor Bradley, a Liverpool teenager, surely sent a message to Chelsea full-back Ben Chilwell in his post-match Instagram post.
