Endrick made history on his Real Madrid debut as he became the youngest foreign player in the club’s history to score a La Liga goal.
The Brazil international joined Los Blancos for €47.5 million from Palmeiras in July and after two appearances as an unused substitute - versus Atalanta and Mallorca - Endrick made his Real Madrid debut against Real Valladolid on Sunday, 25 August.
The teenager came on in the 86th minute and he notched his first Real Madrid goal in the 96th minute to set a new club record.

At 18 years and 35 days old, Endrick became the youngest foreign player to score a La Liga goal for Real Madrid.
The Brazilian received the ball on the edge of the penalty area and after some neat footwork, he shifted the ball onto his right foot and fired past Real Valladolid goalkeeper Karl Hein - who is on loan from Arsenal.
Endrick’s late goal helped Carlo Ancelotti’s side to a 3-0 victory, with Federico Valverde and Arda Guler also getting on the scoresheet.

In addition, Endrick also became the third-youngest South American player to score a La Liga goal in history, behind Lionel Messi in 2005 (17 years and 311 days old) and Fabio Pinto in 1998 (18 years and 30 days old).

Real Madrid’s transfer business
Endrick is one of just two players to have joined Real Madrid this summer, along with France superstar Kylian Mbappe.
Despite their failure to land both Leny Yoro and Alphonso Davies, Ancelotti has also revealed that Real Madrid will not sign any more players before Deadline Day.
“The squad is closed and now we have to wait 12 days for it to finish. We don't need centre-backs because [David] Alaba will recover soon and properly.
“We also have young players ready to play for us. Unfortunately, Joan [Martinez] is out injured, but we also have Jacobo [Ramon] and [Raul] Asencio. They can make a contribution in some matches.”
