Real Madrid’s newest star, 16-year-old Endrick, announced his arrival on the European stage with a stunning goal on his Champions League debut. The Brazilian striker, who came on as an 80th-minute substitute, sealed a 3-1 victory over Stuttgart with a late strike.
After Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Rudiger had put Madrid ahead, Deniz Undav briefly brought the German side back into the game. However, Endrick’s decisive goal in injury time ensured a comfortable victory for the Spanish giants.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti was effusive in his praise for the young star: “Endrick had courage, it was the last chance of the game and the best solution was to take advantage of the counter,” he said. “He was convinced he was going to score today and he did very well. He found the most difficult solution.”
Ancelotti went on to describe Endrick as “very special,” highlighting his unique talent: “Endrick is able to do something that nobody can think of. He has this gift that is very effective. Not only in matches, but also in training. You can see that he is a very special player.”
Endrick, who joined Madrid from Palmeiras this summer, has now scored twice for his new club – his first goal came in a La Liga match against Real Valladolid last month. The young striker’s impressive debut performance suggests that he has the potential to become a key player for the Spanish giants in the years to come.
