In the 53rd minute of Chelsea’s friendly clash with Palmeiras, an unforgettable moment unfolded — one that left new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca frozen in disbelief on the touchline.
The source of the shock?
A sensational strike from 18-year-old Palmeiras prodigy Estevão Willian — the very player Chelsea secured in a high-profile deal just last year.
What Estevão pulled off was pure magic. A goal so outrageous, so technically brilliant, that you’d never expect it from someone his age. The stadium erupted, and everyone watching knew they had just witnessed something special.
This goal won’t be forgotten anytime soon. It’s already being called one of the best moments of the preseason.
