Chelsea defeated Barcelona 3-0 on Tuesday night (25), in a match valid for the Champions League league phase, played in Stamford Bridge, Londres.
During and after the game, fans present at the stadium sang the chant “You are just a worse Estêvão” directed at Lamine Yamal, the main highlight of the Catalan team.
The provocation directly compares the 17-year-old Spaniard to the Brazilian Estêvão Willian, also 17 years old, who scored one of the goals and played a decisive role for the English team.
