Overview
- The 18-year-old scored Chelsea's second and joined Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland as the only players to net in each of their first three Champions League appearances.
- The win featured Jules Koundé's 27th-minute own goal and Ronald Araújo's 44th-minute red card before Liam Delap added a late third.
- Chelsea's setup successfully muted Lamine Yamal, limiting him to his fewest touches this season across LaLiga and Europe and curbing his passing impact.
- Estevão's surge includes nine goals for club and country over the past month and five for Chelsea this season, matching the total by all other Premier League players aged 18 or under.
- Maresca cautioned against Messi or Ronaldo comparisons and said selection will follow the gameplan with depth options such as Pedro Neto, even as Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher praised the winger's dribbling display.
