At just 18 years of age, Chelsea’s rising star Estevao Willian already has goals against Barcelona in the Champions League and Liverpool in the Premier League.
Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, Estevao has made a lot of progress, and goals in games of that magnitude show that.
The winger has now revealed which goal has been his favourite moment in a Chelsea shirt.
Estevao’s stunning goal against Barcelona!
Liverpool winner Estevao Willian’s favourite moment
Estevao’s strike against Barcelona was a stunning one. The 18-year-old turned a couple of their defenders inside out before lashing the ball into the back of the net.
Yet when Estevao was asked by The Sun to share what his standout moment in a blue shirt was so far, he replied: “Liverpool!”

That goal was only a tap-in; however, it came at the very end of Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Liverpool and was a winner.
Chelsea supporters would have loved to see a repeat against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon, but the Brazil international is set to miss the match because of a hamstring injury.
As well as Estevao, Dario Essugo will also miss the Arsenal fixture despite recently returning to training.
Joao Pedro on Estevao Willian’s winner against Liverpool
Estevao’s teammate Joao Pedro also enjoyed his goal in the 2-1 win over Liverpool earlier this season.
In the same interview with The Sun, the former Brighton & Hove Albion man said: “Everyone enjoyed that goal, it was during his first weeks here in a big game and it made a big impression. For him to come on and score the last goal, I celebrated like he was my family.”

Pedro has managed to come up with some big goals himself, scoring the winner in Chelsea’s 1-0 victory over London rivals Tottenham Hotspur back in November.
Pedro also grabbed a brace in the Blues’ 3-2 win against Napoli to send his side straight into the Champions League last 16.
Chelsea have been drawn against Paris Saint-Germain in a rematch of the 2025 Club World Cup final, which the Conference League holders managed to win 3-0. Hopefully Pedro and Estevao can inspire the team to a similar victory over the two legs in their Champions League tie.
