Following Chelsea’s thrilling Champions League clash against Barcelona, football journalist Fabrizio Romano sparked debate on social media, asking fans and followers one simple question: “Your call now, after the game, Lamine or Estevao”. The post, shared on his official Facebook page, immediately drew thousands of reactions, reflecting the growing fascination with the young talents in European football.
Chelsea’s 3-0 performance against the Catalan giants highlighted the contributions of both Lamine Yamal and Estêvão William, but for very different reasons. Estêvão continued his remarkable run in the competition, scoring in his third consecutive Champions League game. By doing so, he became only the third teenager in history, after Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, to score in each of his first three starts in the tournament. His game stats were impressive: 48 touches, 24/28 passes completed, 8 touches in the opposition box, 2 chances created, 2 shots, and 1 goal. Estêvão’s consistency, composure, and eye for goal underscore why Chelsea fans are excited about his emergence.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, despite the team’s struggles, remained a talking point. Known for his pace, dribbling, and technical skills, Yamal was largely contained by Chelsea’s disciplined defense, but his flashes of creativity and moments of attacking threat reminded viewers why he is considered one of Europe’s brightest young talents. While he did not score or assist in the game, his ability to draw defenders and create opportunities for teammates reflects his growing influence in high-stakes matches.
