Endrick’s performance helped Real Madrid upset Celta Vigo 5-2 in the Copa del Rey knockout match Wednesday night at Santiago Bernabeu.
Coming on in the 79th minute, the kid saw the side lose two goals in eight minutes, squandering their advantage, but came up big in the second half of extra time to score a match-winning brace.
Needless to say, the new signing delivered a statement performance, sending a message to Carlo Ancelotti to use his talent more regularly.

“The game was extremely difficult since we were leading 2-0 and surrendered two goals. But this is Madrid, and we always want to win till the finish. We always fight. It’s been difficult, but we scored enough goals to win.”

“It’s difficult to play extra time when we’re already playing a 90-minute game and adding 30 more. We need to run more and do more. But we scored three goals and did extremely well.”
The boy was then asked to describe his special brace, which he kindly dedicated to Antonio Rudiger.
“I work every day and dedicate my ambitions to Ridiger. He understands what we do together every day.”
“He seldom compliments me, so this isn’t awful. He is extremely good because he tells me what I need to do. He has been wonderful to me since my arrival. “These two goals are for him,” he said about his connection with the defense.
Finally, he ended by explaining what the goals meant to him, saying,
“The first goal was really important to me since it broke the tie. I enjoy these games and this vibe. Now to train for next game.”
