Endrick, at just 17 years old, made history by coming off the bench to score the winning goal for Brazil against England at Wembley, becoming the youngest player ever to do so in a men’s match at the iconic stadium. Despite his youth, the striker has already earned three caps for his country and boasts an impressive record of 18 goals in 66 appearances for Palmeiras at the club level. His debut goal for Brazil was a moment filled with emotion for Endrick.
Real Madrid has secured Endrick’s services for the upcoming season, with the official signing set for July when he turns 18. The Spanish giants have agreed to a substantial €60m (£52m/$64m) fee to activate his release clause from Palmeiras.
Reflecting on his winning goal, Endrick admitted his struggle to grasp the enormity of the moment, confessing that thoughts of the goal clouded his mind even after the match. He revealed how his experience in playing Brazil on career mode in video games, particularly at Wembley, echoed in his mind during the game, making it difficult to focus.
The occasion was made even more special with his loved ones present in the stands, evoking strong emotions in Endrick, who rarely sheds tears but found it hard to contain his happiness.
Looking ahead, Brazil will face Spain in another international friendly, offering Endrick another opportunity to showcase his talent and vie for a spot in Brazil’s squad for the upcoming Copa America in the United States.
