Estevão Breaks Chelsea Record Just Minutes After It Was Set
It was a historic night at Stamford Bridge, one that perfectly captured the changing of generations within Chelsea. In a matter of minutes, two Blues players broke the same record — the youngest goalscorer in the club’s Champions League history.
Marc Guiu made history… briefly
The first to claim the record was Marc Guiu, who opened the scoring against Ajax at 19 years and 291 days, surpassing Reece James’ previous mark of 19 years and 332 days, set against the same opponent back in 2019.
Guiu’s goal gave Chelsea the early lead, and it seemed his name would go down in the club’s European history books. But fate — and a new Brazilian wonderkid — had other plans.
Estevão steals the spotlight
Just 28 minutes later, Estevão stepped up to the penalty spot after a selfless gesture from Enzo Fernández and coolly converted to make it 2–0. At 18 years and 181 days old, he shattered Guiu’s brand-new record and became Chelsea’s youngest-ever goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League.
Signed this past summer from Palmeiras for €34 million, the Brazilian had already showcased his brilliance in the Premier League, scoring the game-winning goal against Liverpool just two weeks earlier.

A Brazilian gem with a bright future
Already a Brazil international, Estevão’s latest milestone confirms his seamless adaptation to English football. His confidence, flair, and composure to take a Champions League penalty at under 19 highlight why many see him as a future global superstar.
In one unforgettable night, Stamford Bridge witnessed the future of Chelsea — two rising talents exchanging history and headlines, goal by goal.
