Chelsea: Estevao emulates Kylian Mbappe with stunning goal in Champions League win over Barcelona | OneFootball

Chelsea’s Brazilian wonderkid is keeping good company after scoring his third Champions League goal

Estevao stole the show as Chelsea recorded a statement win over Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Barcelona were then left with a huge mountain to climb after Ronald Araujo was sent-off on the stroke of half-time for two bookable offences and Chelsea made the extra man count in the second half.

The Brazilian skipped past Pau Cubarsi, held off Alejandro Balde and thumped a shot past goalkeeper Joan Garcia at his near post for his third Champions League goal of the season.

In doing so, Estevao has become the second youngest player in Champions League history to score in his first three starts in the competition after previously finding the net against Ajax and Qarabag.

The youngest player to achieve this feat remains Kylian Mbappe aged 18 and 113 days.

Speaking to Amazon Prime afterwards, Estevao said: "It really was the perfect night. [My goal] was such a special moment for me in my career. From the moment I arrived here, I felt such a connection with the fans.

“I'm just so happy I could score for them and make them happy. I hope to keep making them happy and score more for them."

"I don't really have any words to sum up how I am feeling. It was all very quick for me. I found some space and wiggled my way through. I hope I keep scoring for many more years. My family were here to watch.”
