Enzo Fernandez has lauded Argentina's "pride" and "humility" during the 2026 World Cup, despite FIFA launching an investigation into the team's post-final conduct. Argentina were defeated 1-0 by Spain in the final, with Ferran Torres scoring the winning goal.

Fernandez, who was sent off in the match, expressed that competing is about "giving your all for the jersey and never giving up." He praised his teammates for "defending these colours with pride, humility, and commitment."

The FIFA investigation stems from incidents after the final whistle, including actions by Leandro Paredes, Nahuel Molina, and coach Roberto Ayala. The entire Argentina squad reportedly turned their backs on the trophy celebration as Spain lifted the World Cup. FIFA has confirmed a Disciplinary and Ethics Prosecutor is investigating potential breaches.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Emi Martinez is contemplating his international future after the defeat, stating it might be time "to step aside" after 67 caps.
