Tuesday night saw FC Barcelona fall to a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge, further hindering their chances of securing a top-eight finish in the UEFA Champions League group stage. The Blaugrana were thoroughly outplayed by Enzo Maresca's team from the start, with their problems only being compounded by Ronald Araujo's red card in the first half. One of the stars that shone the brightest for Chelsea on the night was Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian - a name very familiar to Barcelona. The 18-year-old sensation was a threat going forward and even scored a brilliant goal early in the second half to make it 2-0. However, it could all have been very different for Estevao.
Watch below as Hato said he hadn't seen anyone that good at that age, apart from perhaps Lamine Yamal ? Jorrel Hato: "Have I seen a teenager as good as Estevao? Maybe Lamine Yamal" ?? pic.twitter.com/hIXhEz5trU CaughtOffside (@caughtoffside) October 23, 2025 He was really good today again, Hato said of Estevao. Very young, he's even younger than me, but such a great player. Have I seen another teenager like this? Maybe Lamine Yamal, but I cannot name other names.
Chelsea reportedly feel they have a potential 200m talent on their hands in the form of Brazilian winger Estevao Willian. The exciting wonderkid joined the Blues this summer from Palmeiras, and it's already easy to see why he's been so highly regarded for some time now. Chelsea will no doubt hope he can continue to develop into one of the very finest players in world football, and that might present an opportunity to cash in on him for a huge profit.
