Fans react to Estevao's display vs. Barcelona
@Chelseahistory: ''Estevão Willian has scored tonight vs. Barcelona! At 18 years and 215 days, he is now the second-youngest player ever to score in three consecutive Champions League starts, behind only Kylian Mbappé. Previous goals: Ajax and Qarabağ. What a player.''
@AjaniOkoin: ''Noni Madueke saw the potential of Estevao when Chelsea played against Palmerias in Club World Cup quarter finals. Man had to agree deal with Arsenal even before the final was played against PSG.''
@LegendYenny: ''Estevão is in his bag—three straight Champions League goals, and this one was a rocket. Barca fans can only clap from a distance. Betetr than Yamal.''
@Mazi Uche: ''Estêvão is showing the world what he is capable of with his skill and courage on the field. At just 18, he is already making unforgettable plays and proving that talent and hard work can make a star rise quickly. His performance is a sign of great things to come.''
