"On the night it was no contest, both individually and collectively, as Estevao starred in Chelsea's 3-0 win, scoring a wonderful goal and providing the offensive spark for the home team throughout. Cucurella tames Yamal Yamal showed the occasional flash of his genius but was largely anonymous, played out of the game by Spain team-mate Marc Cucurella. Asked if Estevao and Yamal, who are both 18, are destined to be the next two global superstars, Maresca said: "He and Lamine are very young, so if you start talking about Messi and Ronaldo - it is too much pressure. "They need to enjoy their football. It's too much for them to be compared with Messi and Ronaldo. "He [Estevao] needs to relax, enjoy playing football and the training sessions.""
"Estevao certainly enjoyed last night, with the best moment his jinking run and finish that put Chelsea 2-0 up against a Barca side reduced to 10 men by the dismissal of defender Ronald Araujo. "I don't really have any words to sum up how I'm feeling right now. It really was the perfect night," Estevao told Amazon Prime. "It all happened very quickly for me, it sort of happened before I knew it. I just found some space, wriggled my way through and then scored that goal. It was such a special moment for me in my career. I hope to score many more. "It was definitely the best moment of my career so far.""
Willian Estevao produced a standout performance as Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League, scoring a brilliant goal and supplying the primary offensive spark. Barcelona were reduced to 10 men after Ronald Araujo’s dismissal, and Marc Cucurella largely neutralised Lamine Yamal, limiting his influence despite occasional flashes. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca warned against comparing the 18-year-olds to Messi and Ronaldo, urging them to relax and enjoy football without pressure. Estevao described the night as perfect, recounting a rapid run into space and a special career moment he hopes to repeat.
