Endrick has made history by becoming the youngest foreign player to score in LaLiga for Real Madrid. Aged 18 years and 35 days, he came off the bench to replace Kylian Mbappe in the 86th minute against Real Valladolid and scored 10 minutes into his cameo to make the record.
The Brazilian finally completed his highly anticipated transfer to Real Madrid this summer, joining the club from Palmeiras in Brazil. And he has already started showing why he is one of of the top youngsters in the world.

Federico Valverde opened the scoring early in the game before Brahim Diaz followed it up late in the game to double the lead. The midfielder then set up Endrick for his goal in the final seconds of the match to put the game to bed and secure all three points.
Los Blancos looked void of any attacking threat in the first half, but stepped up their game after the break. Endrick’s first goal for Real Madrid will surely be one to remember, given that it earned them their first win of the season.
It’ll be interesting to see how much playing time the youngster gets, with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo both likely to remain in the starting line-up throughout the season.
