Estevao Willian debuted in the match against Bayer Leverkusen

On August 8, 2025, a controlled match took place at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen, in which the hosts won by a score of 2-0. Estevao Willian, an 18-year-old Brazilian winger who signed a contract with Chelsea, opened the scoring in the 18th minute, scoring with a deflection after a shot from Cole Palmer.

In the second half, Joao Pedro, who also debuted for the club, secured Chelsea's lead by scoring the second goal in the dying moments of the match. Liam Delap, who started the game in the striker position, could not show himself, while the team looked much fresher and more active than their opponent.

Despite the fact that Chelsea had only recently returned to training after a break, they demonstrated a dominant game, unlike Bayer Leverkusen, who had started their preparations for the season earlier. Estevao Willian, apart from his goal, impressed fans with his speed and technical play, which promises him a successful career at the new club.

In the match, other new signings of the team also debuted, such as Jorrel Hato and Jamie Gittens, who appeared on the field in the second half.

This match was the first for Chelsea in their preseason preparations for the new season, with the next match of the team taking place against AC Milan.
