LONDON, United Kingdom(AFP)—Enzo Fernandez insists Argentina represented themselves in the “best possible way” at the World Cup despite the Chelsea midfielder’s red card in the final and a host of ugly incidents in their controversial campaign.

Fernandez was sent off for a second booking after clattering into Spain’s Pau Cubarsi in the closing stages of normal time in Sunday’s 1-0 loss.

The 25-year-old’s premature exit was the latest in a series of clashes to cast a shadow over Argentina’s run to the final.
