The discussion continued even after the post was removed. As reported by The Sunmany supporters felt the club should have stayed neutral during the international fixture. Some fans also linked the incident to Fernandez’s uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, saying the post created even more frustration among the fanbase.

The report also noted that Fernandez’s goal cancelled out Anthony Gordon’s opener before Lautaro Martinez scored the winner for Argentina later in the match. Chelsea have not explained why the post was deleted. However, the quick response suggested the club understood how strongly many supporters felt about the situation.
Despite the online debate, Fernandez played a key role in Argentina’s victory. His equaliser changed the flow of the game before the defending champions booked their place in the World Cup final. As reported by talkSPORTthe midfielder remains an important player for both Argentina and Chelsea, even though transfer speculation has continued throughout the summer.
The Premier League club will now turn their full attention to preparing for the new season. The club will hope the focus returns to football instead of social media. Fernandez, meanwhile, will look to finish the World Cup strongly before returning to club football. His performances have once again shown why he is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the game. Although the post was online for only a short time, it created a debate that reached far beyond the match itself. It also showed how a single social media post can quickly become a major story during a global tournament.
