Maresca cools Messi comparisons after Estevao's stunning solo goal

ENZO Maresca on Tuesday played down comparisons between Estevao and Lionel Messi after Chelsea’s wonderkid scored a spectacular solo Champions League goal in a thumping 3-0 win against Barcelona.

The 18-year old Brazilian emphatically won the battle of the teenage prodigies against Lamine Yamal as the London club secured their third victory in five matches in the league phase of the competition.

Estevao’s moment of magic came 10 minutes after halftime when he received the ball on the right, beat two defenders and lashed his shot into the roof of Joan Garcia's net. It was the winger’s 10th goal of the season for club and country, just months into his first campaign at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea's other goals came via an own goal from Barcelona defender Jules Koundé and a late strike from substitute Liam Delap.
