Chelsea midfielder, Enzo Fernandez has named Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi and Real Madrid legend, Zinedine Zidane as his two references in football.

Seven of Fernandez’s 13 international appearances came in Qatar alongside Messi as the pair helped La Albiceleste win their third World Cup crown.
The 22-year-old described it as a ‘dream’ to play alongside Messi last year and he has claimed that he uses the Barcelona legend as a reference.
Fernandez also named Zidane as a player who has had an influence on him.
Speaking on SportsCenter on ESPN (h/t @AlbicelesteTalk), Fernandez said: “Along with Messi, my another reference in football is Zinedine Zidane.”
