In the Champions League, Endrick has made his arrival.
With a spectacular goal in his Champions League debut, Real Madrid wonderkid Endrick introduced himself to the European football scene and smashed a club record in the process.
The 18-year-old agreed to deal with Real Madrid back in December 2022, and he became an official member of the team in July.
In August, he made his La Liga debut with a goal against Real Valladolid after substituting for five minutes.
His Champions League debut was against Stuttgart on Tuesday night, and he made sure to leave his mark.
After Kylian Mbappe—who also scored his first goal for Los Blancos in Europe—and Antonio Rudiger gave Real Madrid a 2-1 lead, Endrick added a third in spectacular fashion in the fifth minute of second-half injury time.
After grabbing the ball in his own half, he attacked the Stuttgart defence.
Then he continued running, choosing to do it alone and shoot from 25 yards out, even with Mbappe on his left and Vinicius Junior on his right.
Additionally, Endrick’s effort was too strong for Stuttgart custodian Alexander Nubel to stop, and it found the back of the net to bring the score 3-1 in favour of Real Madrid that evening.
Endrick, who is 18 years, 1 month, and 27 days old, became Real Madrid’s youngest-ever Champions League goal scorer with the goal.
Raul, who created his European account at the age of eighteen years, three months, and twenty-one days, previously held the record.
The Brazilian has already received great appreciation from his teammates after scoring in a March international friendly against England.
Endrick and former Chelsea teammate and former Real attacker Eden Hazard were compared by Real custodian Thibaut Courtois, who thought there were some similarities between their on-field antics.
“He is not very tall, but he has very strong legs,” he clarified.
He had muscular legs, too, which made him resemble Eden from when I first met him at Chelsea.
“You can strike him, and he won’t fall. Additionally, he is quite strong in the picture. I have saw him shoot hard during training.”
