In a spectacular start to his La Liga career, 18-year-old Brazilian forward Endrick has made headlines by scoring his first goal for Real Madrid. His achievement not only marks a significant milestone for the young talent but also sets a record as the youngest foreign player to score for Real Madrid in the league.
Endrick scored during a 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid, leading Madrid to their first win of the season. At 18 years and 35 days old, Endrick has surpassed the previous record held by French player Raphaël Varane, who was 18 years and 125 days old when he scored his first goal for Madrid in 2011. This goal highlights Endrick's potential as he steps into the role of a promising future star for the club.
