Mac Allister and Emi Martinez react to Enzo Fernandez’s passionate Chelsea message
Enzo Fernandez dispatched a heartfelt message to the Chelsea supporters and earned reactions from his teammates and across the Premier League.
Chelsea moved one step closer to silverware once again after a convincing 2-0 win over Fluminense on 8 July in the Club World Cup semi-final.
Joao Pedro enjoyed a dream debut, scoring twice against his former club. His first was a superb curling finish, while the second came from a slick counter-attack – initiated by a perfectly timed ball from Fernandez – which the Brazilian smashed home with confidence.
Chelsea will now face Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in the final, after the French side produced a dominant 4-0 victory over Real Madrid.
Fernandez, who delivered another composed performance in midfield, later shared a message with fans as the Blues prepare for another shot at silverware.
