“I know I scored a beautiful goal, but you were the best player today. I can’t believe that was your last game for us,” Estevão Willian shared in an emotional farewell to a Chelsea teammate after the Liverpool clash.
The Brazilian wonderkid, who sealed Chelsea’s 2-1 win with a stunning injury-time strike at Stamford Bridge, chose not to bask in personal glory but instead paid tribute to a departing teammate he called both a mentor and a brother.
His heartfelt words spread quickly across social media, leaving fans stunned as the joy of victory was overshadowed by the sadness of goodbye.
While Chelsea celebrated a dramatic triumph, Estevão’s honesty revealed the hidden reality in the dressing room: one of the Blues’ key players had just played his final game for the club.
Speculation is now swirling over the mystery figure, with names like Benoît Badiashile, Conor Gallagher, and Raheem Sterling all rumored to be on their way out.
