Barcelona defender Eric Garcia admitted that Estevao's brilliant goal was what "killed' their hopes in the game during Tuesday's 3-0 Champions League defeat to Chelsea.

Chelsea scored three goals and had three more ruled out by VAR intervention, as Enzo Maresca's side pummeled Barcelona 3-0 in the UEFA Champions League at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

There is a tradition in the recent history of modern Barcelona of brilliant players coming to Stamford Bridge and delivering something spectacular, although on this Champions League night that honour belonged to Chelsea’s own teenage sensation.

Estevao's representative, Andre Cury, opened up about his client's failed move to Barcelona and highlighted Chelsea's smart approach.

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has joked he has prepared for his clash with Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal by forcing Estêvão to wear shin pads in training so he could practice against him.

Hansi Flick had built a prolific goalscoring machine. Barcelona’s 53-game run started back on Dec. 21, 2024, when they lost 2–1 to Atlético Madrid. The team’s 1–0 defeat to Leganés just six days prior was the last time Flick’s side failed to score until their trip to west London.

Gerard Martin 4: With Barcelona a man down, it was nearly impossible for Martin to have the desired impact. He was anonymous as Chelsea pushed on in search of more goals. Dani Olmo 4: A difficult performance at the weekend was compounded here. Had the second-fewest touches of any player on the pitch.
