Real Madrid fans were full of praise for teenage star Endrick after his decisive goal earned them a 1-0 win away from home against Real Sociedad. Los Blancos claimed a vital first leg win over the Basque club to take charge of their Copa del Rey semi-final tie.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his belief that Endrick will turn out to be a great striker in the future and backed up his words by starting the youngster against Real Sociedad. The 18-year-old repaid his manager's trust with a fine effort in the first half that turned out to be the winner for Los Blancos.
Endrick took his tally to six for the season across all competitions, with four of those goals coming in four appearances in the Copa del Rey. The former Palmeiras youngster has proven to be a quality deputy for Kylian Mbappe, who was not in the squad for the game.

Endrick fires Real Madrid to win over Real Sociedad
Teenage sensation Endrick was the match winner for Real Madrid as they claimed an important 1-0 win over Real Sociedad at La Anoeta. Los Blancos have taken charge of their Copa del Rey semi-final by winning the first leg away from home.
With Mbappe and Rodrygo missing, Endrick led the line for Carlo Ancelotti's side, and needed just 19 minutes to score. The 18-year-old latched onto a through ball from Jude Bellingham before applying a brilliant outside-of-the-foot finish to put his side ahead in the game.
Endrick struck the woodwork with another fine effort at the start of the second half before his substitution with 18 minutes to play. Real Madrid held on, with Andriy Lunin doing well to earn his side a clean sheet ahead of the return leg at home.
