Benfica player on future: World Cup first, then we'll see | OneFootball

After Chelsea’s elimination from the Champions League against PSG, Enzo Fernández admitted he does not know if he will remain at the club next season. The Blues were defeated 3-0 at Stamford Bridge, a result that followed a 5-2 loss in the first leg.

After the humiliating defeat, the 25-year-old player was asked about his future in London: “I don’t know, there are eight games left and the FA Cup. There’s the World Cup and then we’ll see,” said the former Benfica player evasively to ESPN.

The midfielder arrived at Chelsea in January 2023, after standing out with the Eagles, for a record fee in British football of 121 million euros, and has already played more than 150 games for the Blues. This season, in 45 matches, he scored 12 goals and provided six assists.

In the match against Luis Enrique’s side, Enzo Fernández, who wore the captain’s armband in the absence of Reece James, was substituted in the 60th minute. The Argentine also analyzed the elimination from the prestigious competition, pointing out the team’s lapses in concentration.

“We couldn’t control the game. In the first leg, we lost focus in the last 15 minutes and conceded three goals, and here it happened right at the start. At this level, you can’t concede two goals so quickly because of small details. In the end, over both legs, PSG were the better team and deserve to go through,” he lamented.
