**Madrid, Spain** – Real Madrid secured a thrilling 3-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart in their Champions League group stage match, with young Brazilian forward Endrick stealing the spotlight. The 18-year-old, who just married his partner this week, showcased remarkable courage and talent by scoring his first-ever Champions League goal with a stunning long-range strike in the 95th minute.

Endrick, who had the option to pass to either Vinícius Júnior or Kylian Mbappé, both unmarked, chose to take on the challenge himself, wrongfooting Stuttgart goalkeeper Alexander Nübel and securing Madrid’s win.

“He had courage,” said manager Carlo Ancelotti, praising Endrick’s bold decision. “It was the last move of the game. He was convinced he’d score. He went for the most difficult solution, but it went well.”

Teammates also commended Endrick’s bravery. “If he missed, they would have killed him!” joked goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, highlighting the risk involved. “But if he has the confidence to shoot, he has a super powerful shot. If he scores, everyone keeps quiet! He’s a boy with a lot of quality.”

The match was a whirlwind of excitement. Mbappé opened the scoring just 22 seconds into the second half with his first Champions League goal for Madrid, before Deniz Undav equalized for Stuttgart. Antonio Rüdiger then put Madrid back in front before Endrick sealed the victory with his spectacular goal.

With his impressive performance, Endrick became the youngest player in Real Madrid history to score a Champions League goal. His performance, coupled with Mbappé’s goal and a positive overall team performance, provides a promising start for Real Madrid in this year’s Champions League campaign.
