During a quick chat with Real’s official channel, Endrick couldn’t hide his excitement. “Every kid dreams of playing in a Clasico, and here I am, ready to give it my all to win,” he said. He also remembered his debut as a moment of personal pride, with his parents and girlfriend cheering him on from the stands. That first Madrid jersey he wore? It’s going straight to his game room.
At Madrid, Endrick finds himself surrounded by top-tier talent. He’s looking to pick up some tricks from the likes of Fede Valverde, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappe. “I’m here to work and learn from the best,” he stated, clearly focused on tapping into the wealth of experience around him.
His pairing with Arda Guler against Milan caught the eye of coach Carlo Ancelotti, adding another layer to his promising start. Despite the pressure, Endrick is soaking in the love from Madrid fans, including the 40,000 who showed up just to welcome him. “It’s insane, the love I’ve received,” he reflected. “I’m at the best club in the world, and I’m here to make a difference.”
As the Clasico approaches, all eyes will be on this young striker to see if he can turn his dream debut into a lasting impact. Real Madrid and their fans are hoping that Endrick’s drive and passion translate into a standout performance this Saturday.
