Endrick becomes Real Madrid’s youngest foreign scorer in historic La Liga debut
Endrick has made history by becoming the youngest foreign player to score for Real Madrid in La Liga, a remarkable achievement at just 18 years and 35 days old.
The Brazilian sensation, who joined Real Madrid for €47.5 million from Palmeiras, finally got his chance to shine after being an unused substitute in two prior matches.
Endrick was brought on as a late substitute during Real Madrid’s match against Real Valladolid on August 25, 2024.
In just ten minutes of play, he made a decisive impact. Receiving the ball on the edge of the penalty area, Endrick displayed impressive composure and skill.
With a deft move to his right foot, he sent a powerful shot past the Valladolid goalkeeper, Karl Hein, who is currently on loan from Arsenal.
His goal sealed a 3-0 victory for Real Madrid, with Federico Valverde and Arda Güler also contributing to the scoreline.
This goal not only secured his place in Real Madrid’s history books but also made him the third-youngest South American player to score in La Liga, following legends like Lionel Messi and Fabio Pinto.
Endrick’s historic debut adds to the anticipation surrounding his potential future with Los Blancos, as fans and pundits alike eagerly watch his development.
Real Madrid’s summer transfer window has been relatively quiet, with Endrick being one of just two significant signings, alongside Kylian Mbappé.
As the season progresses, expectations are high for Endrick to continue making waves and establishing himself as a key player in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
