**Madrid, Spain** – Real Madrid secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Stuttgart in their opening match of the revamped UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, with a historic performance from young prodigy Endrick.

The Brazilian teenager etched his name into Real Madrid’s history books by becoming the youngest ever scorer for the club in the Champions League. At 18 years and 58 days, Endrick surpassed the previous record held by club legend Raúl since 1995.

Endrick, who made his 5th appearance for Real this season, scored his 2nd goal in the 95th minute with a courageous long-range strike. “He has balls!” exclaimed Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, praising Endrick’s bravery and confidence.

“He was convinced he’d score,” added Ancelotti, highlighting Endrick’s decision to take the shot despite having options to pass to Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé.

Mbappé himself made a significant impact on his debut for Real Madrid, opening the scoring within 20 seconds of the second half. The French superstar, who joined Real this summer, became the 15th player to score on his debut in the Champions League for the club.

Stuttgart managed to equalize through Deniz Undav in the 68th minute, but Real Madrid retook the lead in the 83rd minute with a header from Antonio Rüdiger, assisted by Luka Modrić.

At 39 years and eight days, Modrić became the third-oldest player to assist a goal in Champions League history, after Ryan Giggs and Amedeo Carboni.

This impressive victory sets Real Madrid on a strong footing for the new Champions League season, and the exciting performances of Endrick and Mbappé offer a glimpse into a potentially dominant future for the Spanish giants.
