The interviewer asked him about his tribute to the 23-year-old and he showed her a huge tattoo on his leg.
Inked on his thigh was a picture of Fernandez’s back, with his name and number 24 on the Argentina shirt.
He also revealed that he got it BEFORE his brother won the World Cup with La Albiceleste back in 2022.
Fernandez was named Young Player of the Tournament on his World Cup debut.
Argentina were crowned world champions after beating France on penalties following a dramatic 3-3 draw.
Shortly after the tournament in Qatar, Fernandez joined Chelsea in a £106million transfer, becoming the club’s most expensive player at the time.
The midfielder has since made 62 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals and assisting five.
He recently revealed that new Blues manager Enzo Maresca blocked him from representing Argentina at this summer’s Olympics after ex-boss Mauricio Pochettino gave him the green light.

Fernandez said: “I did everything possible.
“Mauricio was at Chelsea before, he had given me the OK.
“Then, there was a change of coach and the club changed its position.
“I tried, I kept talking, I did everything possible to be there, but it wasn’t possible.”
However, the young midfielder has been representing his country at this summer’s Copa America.
Argentina face Canada in the semi-finals on Tuesday night.
