Chelsea's impressive 5-1 victory over Ajax showcased their dominance as they aim to advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League. However, the match was particularly memorable for young Brazilian forward Estêvão. Just before the halftime whistle, Ajax's Youri Baas fouled his counterpart in the box, leading to a penalty. Despite the team's array of attacking options, it was 18-year-old Estêvão who confidently converted the penalty, not only contributing to the scoreline but also making history.

At the age of 18 years, five months, and 28 days, Estêvão now holds the record as Chelsea's youngest goalscorer in the Champions League. The previous record was set by Reece James at 19 years, 10 months, and 28 days. Interestingly, James scored his record goal during a match against Ajax as well, where he helped secure a thrilling 4-4 draw. Close behind in third place is Callum Hudson-Odoi, who netted his first Champions League goal just days shy of his 20th birthday. Estêvão's achievement places him above notable past players like Arjen Robben and Daniel Sturridge, further highlighting his exceptional talent.

Estêvão's accomplishment goes beyond Chelsea, as he has now etched his name among Brazil's football legends. His penalty has secured him the second spot in a prestigious list of Brazilian goalscorers in the Champions League, propelling him ahead of Real Madrid's Rodrygo by just four months in age. While the record for the youngest Brazilian scorer still belongs to Endrick, who netted a goal at 18 years, one month, and 27 days, Estêvão's milestone underscores his talent and immense potential for a bright future.
