Shortly after Argentina’s 2022 World Cup victory, Fernández, 23, signed a €121 million ($152.8 million) transfer contract to join Chelsea from Benfica in January 2023.
On Monday, he scored his eighth goal of the year as Chelsea defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 in the league.
Fernandez stated, “I’ve been getting better over the last few months.”
“I had a great start to the season, experienced some highs and lows, but now I’m rediscovering who I am and what it feels like to be well.I am appreciative of my teammates and the coaching staff for their unwavering belief in me and for pushing me down this crucial route.”
Following Monday’s outcome, Chelsea is now 13 points behind fourth-place Tottenham, who are currently holding the final Champions League qualification slot.
According to Fernandez, the team is becoming better and hasn’t given up on playing Chelsea in the Champions League the next year.

“We won the FA Cup against Aston Villa last week. Above all, we are changing our mindset, and this success undoubtedly boosts our confidence for what comes next.

“But there is a long way to go, we have trust in our work, in a new team, and day by day we are improving to be able to meet the objective, we want to play in the Champions League next year.”..
