Estêvão Scores on Debut as Chelsea Clinch Pre-Season Trophy

Estêvão Willian marked his Chelsea debut in style, scoring the opening goal in a 2–0 pre-season victory over Bayer Leverkusen on August 8, 2025, to claim his first trophy with the club.

The 18-year-old Brazilian, who joined the Blues this summer after turning 18, made an immediate impact, finding the net less than 20 minutes into his appearance.

The move began with Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer combining smartly before Estêvão volleyed home, sparking loud celebrations from the Stamford Bridge crowd. Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca made ten outfield changes during the game but maintained control throughout the contest.

João Pedro sealed the win with a late strike, ensuring Chelsea ended their pre-season on a high. The result not only gave the Blues silverware but also offered a promising glimpse of what Estêvão could bring in the 2025–26 campaign.
