Teenage sensation Endrick made history as he became the youngest goalscorer for Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, September 17. The Brazilian youngster scored on his CL debut for Los Blancos as they claimed a hard-fought win over German outfit Stuttgart in their campaign opener.
On the night of the debut of the new UEFA Champions League format, there were records to be ripped up, and Endrick did well to make one his. The 18-year-old announced himself to the biggest stage in Europe by scoring his first Champions League goal.
With the scores level at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti sent on the youngster in place of Jude Bellingham in the 80th minute. He converted a fine effort in added time, beating goalkeeper Alexander Nubel with a fierce drive from outside the box.
By scoring against Stuttgart, the teenager became the youngest player to score for the perennial champions in the competition aged 18 years, one month and 27 days. He beat the record created by club legend Raul in 1995 when he scored against Ferencvaros aged 18 years, three months and 21 days.
Endrick displayed remarkable self-belief and quality to score his first goal in the UEFA Champions League on his debut in the tournament. Before shooting, he had superstar teammates Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr either side of him, but opted to catch the keeper out with a firm strike.
Signed with huge expectations in the summer, the former Palmeiras youngster has now scored in his UEFA Champions League and La Liga debuts for the club. The 18-year-old has yet to start a game since his arrival, but is proving his worth to Carlo Ancelotti.
Endrick, Mbappe, and Antonio Rudiger on target as Real Madrid survive Stuttgart scare
Summer signings Endrick and Kylian Mbappe were among the goals for reigning champions Real Madrid as they got their Champions League campaign off to a winning start. They claimed a 3-1 win over Stuttgart at the Santiago Bernabeu to pick up all three points on the night.
After a first half in which Stuttgart were unlucky not to score, Los Blancos took the lead just 20 seconds into the second half. Mbappe was on hand to tap home a ball from Rodrygo for his first Champions League goal in white.
Stuttgart equalised in the 68th minute through German striker Deniz Undav before another German, Antonio Rudiger, headed the home side ahead after 83 minutes. Endrick came off the bench to score his first goal in the competition in added time to seal the win for the hosts.
