Summary
- Chelsea thrash Ajax 5-1 in rainy Champions League match
- Teenager Estevao stars with impressive performance
- Chelsea become first team to have 3 teenage goalscorers in a Champions League game
On October 22, 2025, Chelsea delivered a dominant performance to thrash Ajax 5-1 in a rainy Champions League match at Stamford Bridge. The home side took control of the game early on after Ajax were reduced to 10 men following a red card for Kenneth Taylor.
Chelsea's teenage sensation Estevao was the star of the show, scoring a penalty and coming close to an overhead kick goal. The 18-year-old Brazilian had a total of eight shots, the most by any player in a Champions League match this season. Alongside Estevao, fellow youngsters Marc Guiu and Tyrique George also found the net for Chelsea, making them the first team to have three teenage goalscorers in a single Champions League game.
The victory marks Chelsea's 200th Champions League match and provides a much-needed confidence boost after their opening loss to Bayern Munich. Manager Enzo Maresca will be pleased with the clinical attacking display, especially with the team's next challenge being a Premier League clash against Sunderland in just three days.
