Messi comparison is 'too much pressure' on Estevao

Enzo Maresca on Nov 25 played down comparisons between Estevao Willian and Lionel Messi, after Chelsea’s wunderkind scored a spectacular solo Champions League goal in a thumping 3-0 win over Barcelona.

The Brazilian emphatically won the battle of the 18-year-old prodigies against Lamine Yamal, as the Blues won their third match out of five in the league phase of the competition.

Estevao’s moment of magic came in the 55th minute, when he received the ball on the right before beating two defenders and lashing it 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 were an own goal from Barcelona defender Jules Kounde and a 73rd-minute strike from substitute Liam Delap.

The Spanish side were reduced to 10 men late in the first half, when captain Ronald Araujo was sent off for a second yellow card.
