The goal of the young Brazilian star in the Champions League match against Stuttgart was technically and tactically sound in terms of finishing. However, from the perspective of match context and decision-making, some, including his teammates, did not support it as it seemed unnecessary and potentially harmful to the team’s performance.
In the match against Espanyol, Endrick was substituted late by coach Carlo Ancelotti in the 84th minute when Real Madrid was leading 3-1, replacing Rodrygo. Despite entering late, Endrick made an impression and contributed to the result.
From the lesson of scoring his first Champions League goal, becoming the youngest Real Madrid player to do so, Endrick embodies a stronger fighting spirit. Despite being fouled and pulled down, he continued battling until a penalty was awarded to Real Madrid, allowing Mbappe to score. While Endrick may not start regularly this season, he could become crucial in both La Liga and the Champions League, much like Rodrygo in past triumphs. He has the potential to bring a significant impact in Madrid’s quest for more titles.
