The Blues began strongly as 19-year-old Marc Guiu opened the scoring, becoming Chelsea’s youngest-ever player to find the net in a Champions League game. Midfielder Moïse Caicedo soon doubled the advantage with a stunning long-range effort before 18-year-old Estêvão Willian made it 3–0 from the penalty spot before half-time.
Ajax managed to pull one back through Wout Weghorst early in the second half, but Chelsea continued to press for more. Teenager Tyrique George, who came on as a substitute, added a fourth goal to seal the 5–1 victory. The match also made history as Chelsea became the first club in Champions League history to have three teenage scorers in a single game.
