Another day another record for Real Madrid teenage sensation Endrick

Real Madrid’s rising star, Endrick, continues to make history, this time becoming the club's youngest-ever goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League.

The Brazilian forward, who joined Los Blancos from Palmeiras, etched his name into the record books with a late strike in Real Madrid's 3-1 victory over Stuttgart in their opening match of the 2024/25 Champions League campaign.

Coming off the bench in the dying moments of the game, the 18-year-old capped off Madrid’s win with a brilliant long-range left-footed goal in the 95th minute. With Madrid holding a narrow 2-1 lead, Endrick picked up the ball in his half during a swift counter-attack, flanked by superstars Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

With confidence beyond his years, he unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box, wrong-footing Stuttgart’s goalkeeper, Alexander Nubel, to score his historic goal.

At just 18 years and 58 days old, Endrick surpassed the previous record held by club legend Raul, who was 18 years and 113 days old when he scored his first Champions League goal for Real Madrid in 1995. This achievement marks a new milestone in Endrick's rising career and sets him up as one of the most exciting young talents in European football.

Endrick’s goal-scoring exploits in the Champions League follow another significant record he recently broke in La Liga. On his league debut for Real Madrid, the Brazilian forward made an immediate impact by scoring his first goal in just ten minutes of play against Real Valladolid.

Substituted in the 86th minute for Kylian Mbappe, the teenager wasted no time and netted a goal in the 96th minute, sealing a 2-0 victory for Los Blancos. That goal made Endrick the youngest foreign player to score for Real Madrid in La Liga at 18 years and 35 days old, surpassing the previous record held by French defender Raphael Varane.

Endrick’s back-to-back record-breaking performances have not only electrified the Santiago Bernabeu crowd but have also given fans hope that he could become a pivotal figure in Real Madrid’s future.

His remarkable talent and composure at such a young age indicate why he is considered one of the brightest prospects in world football.
