Estevao outshone Lamine Yamal by scoring a stunning second-half goal in a dominant 3-0 win for Chelsea over 10-man Barcelona that takes them into the Champions League top eight.
In the first meeting between the two best 18-year-olds in world football, it was Chelsea's Brazilian teen sensation that stole the show, thundering an effort into the roof of the net for his side's second after beating Pau Cubarsi, as Yamal endured a disappointing night.
Estevao in esteemed company
Chelsea's Estevao (18y 215d) has become the third teenager to score in each of his first three Champions League starts after Kylian Mbappé (18y 113d) and Erling Haaland (19y 107d).
Chelsea led deservedly through Jules Kounde's unfortunate first-half own goal after Pedro Neto's strike ricocheted off him and, once Barcelona captain Ronald Araujo was sent off just before the break for a second booking, only one side was going to win.
Substitute Liam Delap added Chelsea's third - his first goal since the Club World Cup - after a VAR review overturned the decision to rule it out for offside. That was the first to go in Chelsea's favour, having seen three chalked off beforehand.

Enzo Maresca made the bold decision to start without a recognised striker, Neto playing as the false nine with Joao Pedro dropped, and it paid off handsomely with Chelsea bossing the Spanish champions to move fifth in the Champions League standings.
It sets Chelsea up perfectly ahead of a huge game against Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday, live on Sky Sports, and underlines their credentials as contenders for major honours this season.
