Chelsea FC scripted a historic chapter in Champions League lore on Wednesday, becoming the first team ever to see three teenagers score in the same match during a dominant 5-1 demolition of 10-man Ajax at Stamford Bridge.
The rout unfolded amid chaos as Ajax’s Kenneth Taylor was sent off in the 17th minute for a reckless lunge on Facundo Buonanotte, paving the way for Chelsea’s onslaught. Barely 77 seconds later, 19-year-old Spaniard Marc Guiu pounced on a flick-on from Wesley Fofana to slot home the opener, becoming Chelsea’s youngest-ever Champions League scorer at 19 years and 291 days—until Brazilian sensation Estêvão Willian, 18, eclipsed it with a penalty 33 minutes later.
Moises Caicedo added a deflected beauty for 2-0, before a penalty frenzy when Ajax’s Wout Weghorst pulled one back, only for Enzo Fernandez to restore order from the spot.
Willian then buried his own penalty high past Remko Pasveer on the stroke of halftime, making it 4-1.
Substitute Tyrique George, 19, sealed the teenage hat-trick three minutes into the second half, his long-range strike deflecting past the keeper.
Manager Enzo Maresca’s youth infusion—featuring the trio alongside stars like Fernandez—signaled a bright horizon for the Blues.
As one fan tweeted, “The future is blue and it’s arriving fast.” With records tumbling and goals flowing, Chelsea’s teenage dream feels like destiny.
