Teenage sensation Estevao Willian stole the show as Chelsea ran out 3–0 winners against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge. The Blues opened the scoring when Jules Koundé inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, and the contest tilted further when Ronald Araújo was sent off, leaving Barcelona with an uphill struggle.
Estevao then produced a moment of magic, weaving past two defenders before curling a stunning shot into the top corner, marking his third goal in as many Champions League appearances—a milestone previously reached only by Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. Liam Delap later sealed the victory with a goal confirmed by VAR.
Chelsea controlled the match from start to finish, while Barcelona rarely threatened, even after an early opportunity for Ferran Torres. Manager Enzo Maresca hailed Estevao’s performance but urged patience, cautioning against comparing him prematurely to Messi or Ronaldo.
The emphatic win boosts Chelsea’s prospects in the group, leaving Barcelona to regroup after a difficult night with ten men.
