<\/a>Estevao on his goal against Barcelona<\/p>\n

“It all happened very quickly for me, it sort of happened before I knew it. I just found some space, wiggled my way through and then scored that goal. It was such a special moment for me in my career. I hope to score many more.<\/p>\n

“It was definitely the best moment of my career so far. I want to score many more for many years. I’m so grateful that my family were here watching me.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Estevao outshines Lamine Yamal and conjures Messi memories as Chelsea crush Barcelona in Champions League<\/p>\n

Lamine Yamal and Estevao are both 18, both possess a magical left foot and both are already at home on the Champions League stage. They have another thing in common: Yamal has spent most of his young life being compared to Lionel Messi, pre-ordained as Barcelona\u2019s next legendary figure at only 14 years old; Estevao was dubbed \u201cMessinho\u201d when he first emerged at Brazilian club Palmeiras.<\/p>\n

Both have understandably tried to shun the comparison and yet there were flickers of a famous Messi goal here at Stamford Bridge. <\/p>\n

The win last night means the Blues have earned their biggest margin of victory over Barcelona in the Champions League while becoming just the third side to beat them at least five times in the competition after Bayern Munich (10) and Paris Saint-Germain (6). <\/p>\n

<\/a>Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang punishes Nick Pope to steal Champions League win from Newcastle<\/p>\n

And the report from Newcastle\u2019s loss…<\/p>\n

The Magpies led 1-0 at the Velodrome courtesy of Harvey Barnes<\/a>\u2019 sixth-minute opener, his third goal in four days after his match-winning double against Manchester City, and were good value for it.<\/p>\n

However, they were undone inside five second half minutes when 36-year-old former Arsenal frontman Aubameyang first capitalised on an error by goalkeeper Nick Pope<\/a> to level and then stabbed the Ligue 1 side ahead amid a much-improved display to snatch a 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Pep Guardiola\u2019s milestone Champions League night falls flat and he only has himself to blame<\/p>\n

The report from City\u2019s loss to Leverkusen…<\/p>\n

There are ways to bring up a century. This was scarcely the most fitting. Pep Guardiola<\/a>\u2019s 100th Champions League<\/a> game in charge of Manchester City<\/a> ranked as one of the worst. And for that, he really only has himself to blame. <\/p>\n

City were beaten by managerial complacency and their own lacklustre display as well as by a rather impressive Bayer Leverkusen<\/a> side. As the teams third in the Premier League and the Bundesliga met, Guardiola picked his second-string side. They came off second best. It was a gamble that backfired, and one that felt all the odder as their next fixture is against out-of-form Leeds. Did he really rest his regulars just for a relegation-threatened team? Because the consequences of a shock setback could involve a spot in the knockout play-off round that City had looked on course to bypass.<\/p>\n

<\/a>‘It has been an incredible night’<\/p>\n

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana had this to say to Amazon after full-time: <\/p>\n

“It has been an incredible night. We played very well and we stuck to the plan the manager explained to us. We just follow the manager’s instructions because we trust him. We know Barcelona play very high so we tried to play with this in mind. We are very happy.”<\/p>\n
