It’s Estevão’s first time ever at Stamford Bridge in his whole life… and he scores, kisses the badge, opens his new chapter at Chelsea.

Willian Estevao is a betrayal for kissing the Chelsea badge on his debut. Man just left Palmeiras that gave him a dream and formed him right from childhood not long ago. Now he is already kissing a Chelsea badge? He will definitely do the same thing to Chelsea once he joins a new club

We already have Yamal. I wonder how long it’s gonna take until we find the next guy who gets to go h2h with him in that epic challenge of football showdown for the next 10 years. Some think it’s Doue, others think it’s Vini or Mbappe but could it really be Estevao??
