In a stunning display of humility and team spirit, Enzo Fernández has revealed that he returned his Man of the Match award to a fellow Chelsea player following their emphatic win over Ajax.
Despite scoring a sensational hat-trick and being officially named the standout performer, the Argentine midfielder insisted that he wasn’t the one who truly deserved the honor.
“I officially handed the Man of the Match award back to him,” Enzo said after the match. “Even though I scored a hat-trick for my team, I’m not the one who truly deserves it. He was absolutely phenomenal today — without him, my goals wouldn’t have even mattered.”
While Enzo didn’t immediately name the player in his interview, multiple sources suggest the award was given to a teammate whose performance and work rate played a crucial role in Chelsea’s dominant display.
Fans were quick to praise Enzo’s gesture online, calling it “a masterclass in leadership and humility.” One supporter wrote, “This is what real captains do — they lift others up.” Another added, “Enzo may have scored three, but his respect for his teammates shows why he’s built differently.”
Pundits also weighed in, noting that the gesture reflects a new culture of unity and accountability under Chelsea’s current management.
As the Blues continue their resurgence in Europe, Enzo’s selfless act serves as a powerful reminder that success is never about individual glory — it’s about recognizing the collective effort behind every victory.
One thing is certain: on a night when Enzo Fernández stole the headlines for his goals, he won even more hearts for his humility and sportsmanship.
