Endrick, a teen sensation from Brazil, scored the game-winning goal in a 3-1 win over Stuttgart. He also became the youngest player in Real Madrid history to score in the Champions League.
Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa, who goes by the name Endrick, came on for Jude Bellingham in the 80th minute and scored a goal in the fifth minute of extra time. The Brazilian scorer dribbled the ball from Madrid’s and then shot with his left foot from about 20 meters away, making it impossible for Alexander Nubel to reach.
Endrick is the youngest Real Madrid player to score in the Champions League. He beat the record set by the great Raul Gonzalez against Ferencvarosi TC in 1995 when he was 18 years and 113 days old and scored a hat-trick.
Endrick was excited to score in his first Champions League game, which helped Madrid get off to a great start.
“I came on and played on the right. The first time I had a chance, I passed the ball to Vinicius, but he missed the goal.” Both Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius were free to pass on the next play, but Endrick thought it would be best to score himself.
Endrick was the most expensive 16-year-old player ever when he signed with Real Madrid for $76 million in December 2022. He was born in 2006. But the Brazilian scorer stayed with Palmeiras for two more years. When he turned 18, he officially joined Real Madrid this summer.
Endrick scored his first goal in La Liga on August 25 in the sixth minute of extra time after coming off the bench. It sealed a 3-0 win over Valladolid in the second round. Endrick scored his first goal for Real Madrid in La Liga when he was 18 years and 35 days old. He broke the record set by centre-back Raphael Varane, who scored when he was 18 years and 152 days old.
Endrick had a great week because on Monday he stated that he was getting married to Gabriely Miranda, a model who is 23 years old.
Mbappe and Rudiger scored for Madrid before Endrick sealed the 3-1 win. Denis Undav scored the only goal for Stuttgart. Madrid will go to Lille in the second round of the Champions League group stage, while Stuttgart will play Sparta Praha at home.
