Brazil's number one prodigy sets 4 records at the great European club

At only 18, Estevao Willian is impressing Chelsea by smashing four historic records, from the Premier League to the Champions League.

Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, Estevao Willian has quickly become the most talked-about name in Chelsea's youthful squad. At just 18, the Brazilian not only impressed with brilliant performances but also broke several records, engraving his name into the history of the West London club.

Estevao continued his impressive form by scoring the opening goal in the 2-2 draw against Qarabag in the Champions League. That goal not only helped Chelsea maintain their unbeaten streak in Europe but also marked a new milestone in the remarkable journey of this teenage star. Below are the four records he has set since joining The Blues.

1. The youngest player to assist for Chelsea in the Premier League

Last August, in Chelsea’s 5-1 victory over West Ham, Estevão was unexpectedly included in the starting lineup after Cole Palmer was injured during warm-up.

He quickly proved his worth by assisting Enzo Fernandez’s goal, becoming the youngest player in Chelsea’s history to provide an assist in the Premier League. It was a perfect debut that showcased the Brazilian talent’s confidence and skill beyond his years.

2. The youngest Brazilian to score a decisive goal in the Premier League

Less than a month later, Estevao made another mark with a personal signature goal against Liverpool. In the 95th minute, in what was seen as a true test, the 18-year-old calmly finished to secure victory for Chelsea.

That goal made him the youngest Brazilian to score a winning goal in the Premier League, surpassing renowned predecessors like Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho.

3. The youngest player to score for Chelsea in the Champions League

Last month, in a 5-1 win over Ajax, Estevão broke another record by becoming the youngest Chelsea player to score in the Champions League, just 33 minutes after teammate Marc Guiu set the previous record.

That match was even more special as Tyrique George also scored, helping Chelsea achieve a historic milestone: three teenage players scoring in a single Champions League match, a first in the tournament’s history.

4. The youngest South American to score in two consecutive Champions League matches

Not only shining domestically, Estevao also made his mark in Europe by becoming the youngest South American to score in two consecutive Champions League games, surpassing even Lionel Messi in his teenage years. His goal against Qarabag this week further confirmed the young player’s class and composure.

From a newcomer unfamiliar with English football, Estevao Willian has swiftly risen to become a new icon of Chelsea’s youth generation. With his astonishing development speed, many believe this 18-year-old will soon become a global star, bringing the “Samba light” to the Premier League in the coming years.
