  • Ghanaian music star King Promise was in the stands at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea cruised to a commanding 3–0 win over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League

King Promise, the reigning TGMA Artiste of the Year, took in a memorable Champions League night as Chelsea swept aside Barcelona at Stamford Bridge on November 25, 2025.

The Blues controlled every phase from the first whistle, pressing with intent and attacking with confidence as the visitors struggled to match their tempo.

Barcelona’s problems deepened when Ronald Araujo received an early dismissal, turning an already tough evening into a mountain they could not climb.

Before Araujo's red card, Chelsea broke through in the 27th minute when Jules Kounde diverted a Pedro Neto attempt into his own net, according to UEFA.

The goal set the tone for the rest of the match, lifting the home supporters and tightening the grip of Enzo Maresca’s team on proceedings.

After the interval, Chelsea intensified their pressure and were rewarded with a moment of brilliance.

Estevão collected the ball, glided into space and finished with confidence in the 55th minute with a strike that outshone anything Lamine Yamal produced on the opposite flank, the Premier League reports.

Watch Estevao's highlights vs Barcelona:

Marc Cucurella’s tireless work limited Yamal throughout, allowing the young Brazilian to command the spotlight.

Estevão’s goal also placed him in rare company. He became the third teenager ever to score in each of his first three Champions League starts, joining Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.

Liam Delap later stepped off the bench and added the final touch, finishing from close range to hand Chelsea a well-deserved 3-0 victory.

The performance ranked among the club’s strongest since lifting the FIFA Club World Cup in the summer of 2025.
