Overview
- Chelsea won 3-0 at Stamford Bridge with a Jules Koundé own goal, a brilliant solo strike from Estêvão and a late Liam Delap finish after Ronald Araújo was sent off before halftime.
- The result leaves Chelsea on 10 points in fifth place in the overall table, while Barcelona sit on 7 points in 15th and currently outside the top eight that qualify directly for the round of 16.
- According to The Athletic, Estêvão became only the third player to score in his first three Champions League starts, joining Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
- English and international outlets praised Estêvão’s display as he outshone Lamine Yamal, while Chelsea fans taunted the Barcelona teenager with chants and goalkeeper Robert Sánchez said Marc Cucurella had Yamal "in his pocket."
- Spanish outlet Sport, cited by O Globo, reported Barcelona passed on signing Estêvão in 2024 due to fit and cost concerns before Chelsea completed a €45 million deal plus bonuses in July 2025.
