Palmeiras wonderkid Estevão will soon be a Chelsea player, but on Friday night, they were the enemy.

Colwill stayed on the floor for almost a minute and Estevao was perhaps lucky to avoid a yellow card as he escaped with only a stern word from the referee.

Estevao was seemingly also on the receiving end of some stern words from Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella, who was seen shouting at his future team-mate in the aftermath.

The incident did not go unnoticed as dozens of Chelsea took to social media to react.

One wrote: 'Estevao needs to calm down. Almost injured Colwill there'.

Another comment read: 'That's one way to announce yourself to Chelsea, right in the back of Colwill from Estevao.'

A third fan wrote: 'Estevao left a late challenge on Colwill. Cucurella nearly slapped the boy but remembered he was now a teammate.'

Estevao committed three fouls in total during the opening 45 minutes — more than any other player on the pitch.

But it was also pointed out by another Chelsea fan on X (formerly Twitter) that the rough stuff involving Estevao was not entirely one-sided.

But Estevao did not appear to be intimidated, and he responded perfectly one minute into the second half by scoring a stunning goal past keeper Robert Sanchez from a narrow-angle.

Chelsea will now face Fluminense in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
