Estevão Breaks Champions League Record Ahead of Messi and Agüero
Chelsea's teenage Brazilian sensation Estêvão is rapidly making a name for himself in European football by setting a unique UEFA Champions League record. At only 18 years old, he became the first South American player aged 18 or younger to score in back-to-back Champions League matches—an achievement that legends like Lionel Messi and Sergio Agüero never reached.
Historic Goals for Chelsea
Estêvão's rise has been striking. After scoring in Chelsea's commanding 5-1 victory over Ajax at Stamford Bridge, he continued his strong form by netting another goal in the 2-2 draw against Qarabağ. Early in the match, in the 16th minute, he demonstrated notable composure by cutting inside from the right and placing a precise, low shot into the bottom corner to give Chelsea an early lead.
