Endrick sets record as Mbappe fires blanks again

Endrick Felipe scored his first goal for Real Madrid on his debut, as Carlo Ancelotti’s side beat Real Valladolid 3-0.

It was a moment for the teenager as he wrote his name in the Real Madrid history books, bagging the third goal in the 3-0 win.

Starting from the bench, the Brazilian replaced fellow new signing, Kylian Mbappe, and took just ten minutes to score his first Madrid goal.

The former Palmeiras player latched onto a pass from Brahim Diaz to drill a fine finish past Karl Hein at the Santiago Bernabeu.

At 18 years and 35 days old, Endrick became the youngest foreign player to score for Real Madrid.

The record was formerly held by Raphael Varane, who scored against Rayo Vallecano in 2011 when he was 18 years and 152 days old.

He is also the youngest Madrid player to score on his LaLiga debut in the 21st century and was extremely joyous with the feat as he claimed it was a teenage dream.

“I’m very happy I made my dream come true, I’m speechless, I’m playing with players I only saw on video games. It’s a day I will always remember”, he said after the game.

Ancelotti also expressed his delight with Endrick, saying the teenager is one with a big potential.

Only two South American footballers have managed to score at a younger age than Endrick. Lionel Messi, who scored at 17 years and 311 days with FC Barcelona in 2005, and Brazilian Fábio Pinto for Real Oviedo in 1998 at 18 years and 30 days.

However, Kylian Mbappe still fired blanks during his 86 minutes of action in his first home game for Madrid. The French star has played in Madrid’s last two consecutive games, firing blanks on those occasions.

The Galacticos returned to winning ways at the Bernabeu after a 1-1 draw in their first game against Mallorca.
