Enzo Fernandez had to be restrained from getting physical with a Liverpool fan who mocked him after the Carabao Cup final defeat.

The Argentine was part of the Chelsea team that lost the encounter on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.

Fernandez has endured a difficult spell with the Blues since he joined them in January 2023.

According to Sky Sports, Chelsea forked out a British record of £106.8 million to sign the 2022 World Cup star from Benfica.

However, the Argentina international has failed to live up to the price tag, with his involvement on Sunday failing to help Chelsea win the trophy.

Fernandez was hoping to help his side lift their first-ever trophy since the Todd Boehly takeover, only for Virgil van Dijk to spoil the party with a 118th-minute winner.

Liverpool fan mocks Enzo Fernandez

With Chelsea stars distraught after the defeat, a Liverpool fan evidently added salt to an injury as he was caught on camera mocking Fernandez.

A video shared on social media showed the Blues' midfielder climbing up the Wembley balcony to collect his runners-up medal when the fan in question mocked:

"Enzo, unlucky lad."

Fernandez stopped momentarily staring at his tormentor before a teammate ushered him to go up to avoid a confrontation.

As the Chelsea ace left, the fan let out a high-pitched laughter, having seen the hilarious side of things.

Fernandez and his teammates will be keen to make amends for their Sunday performance this Wednesday when they take on Leeds United in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge.
