<p>Chelsea celebrated a triumphant Champions League evening against a ten-man Barcelona at Stamford Bridge, securing a commanding 3-0 victory. This win allowed them to rest key players ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Arsenal. The standout performer of the night was 18-year-old Brazilian sensation Estêvão, who outperformed his young rival Lamine Yamal on home turf.</p>
<br>
<p>Despite his youth, the young winger has already shattered several records and has become a pivotal player for the Brazilian national team. His recent goal against Barcelona—a brilliantly executed effort with his weaker foot—marks his third Champions League goal this season, placing him in an exclusive category of young talents.</p>

<p>At just 18 years and 215 days, Estêvão is now only the third teenager in history to score in each of his first three Champions League starts, joining the ranks of Kylian Mbappé (18y 113d) and Erling Haaland (19y 107d). This achievement places Chelsea's young star among an elite group of players, and expectations are sky-high for his future. Currently valued at €60 million, he stands as the most valuable U18 player after Yamal (€200m) and his teammate Pau Cubarsí (€80m).</p>
