Argentina warned that 'euphoria' does not excuse chants against France as Hugo Lloris speaks out against 'proper attack' from Enzo Fernandez & Co

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is facing disciplinary action after posting a video on social media that included alleged "<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-squad-very-angry-enzo-fernandez-footage-argentina-squad-singing-racist-discriminatory-song-french-football-federation-hints-legal-action/blt3c7a923d65fafe13#csdd885b4fb2cab6d9" target="_blank">racist and discriminatory language</a>", according to the French Football Federation. Amid the fallout of this episode, which followed <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/argentina-player-ratings-colombia-lionel-messi-lautaro-martinez/blte69368f2e711b37d" target="_blank">Argentina beating Colombia 1-0 to win the Copa America</a>, former France goalkeeper Lloris said this was a "proper attack" on the French people.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Lloris, now playing for LAFC, told <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cw4yvp32dm1o" target="_blank">BBC Sport</a>: "It doesn't matter if you are in a moment of euphoria because you have won an important trophy. It demands even more responsibility when you are a winner. You don't want to hear or see this kind of thing in football. We all stand against discrimination and racism. I just think and hope it is a mistake. We all make mistakes sometimes and hopefully they will learn from it."He added: "[Argentina] are the face of football right now, in South America, in the world. They deserve a lot of credit for what they have done on the field for the last four or five years. But when you win, you are an example for others, especially kids. It was a proper attack about the French people, especially for the French people who have some African origin and family."

WHAT HUGO LLORIS SAID

While Fernandez has since<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/enzo-fernandez-apology-france-song-argentina-copa-america-celebrations-chelsea-furious/blt138381b0c45d3e94#csa450d8117513177c" target="_blank"> issued an apology</a>, his Chelsea team-mates are said to be '<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-squad-very-angry-enzo-fernandez-footage-argentina-squad-singing-racist-discriminatory-song-french-football-federation-hints-legal-action/blt3c7a923d65fafe13#csdd885b4fb2cab6d9" target="_blank">very angry</a>' at his actions. The French Football Federation are considering legal action and FIFA are understood to be investigating the video, where multiple Argentine players sung a song questioning the heritage of France's black and mixed race players. This is another ugly episode in the fight against racism.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Fernandez was subsequently unfollowed on Instagram by Chelsea team-mates Malo Gusto, Benoit Badiashile and more, including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-request-argentine-politician-fired-deputy-sports-minister-inter-miami-apologise-racist-chant-kylian-mbappe-france/bltc3744f7d84b2c7f6" target="_blank">Wesley Fofana,</a> who posted the video on social media and wrote: "Football in 2024: uninhibited racism". It remains to be seen if Chelsea will sanction the Argentine.
