18-year-old Endrick scored the goal that sealed the victory for Real Madrid, as the Los Blancos beat Stuttgart 3-1 in their Champions League opener.

Endrick has now become Real Madrid’s youngest goal-scorer in Champions League history following his goal.

Carlo Ancelotti was impressed with the courage of the teenager, and said after the game: “Endrick taking that shot? He has balls.

“Endrick had the courage, because it was the last ball of the game. The best solution was to take advantage of the counterattack, which was 3 to 1.

“He was convinced to score and he did it very well. He probably chose the most complicated solution, but the result was very good. Endrick in these two days he has shown a lot of courage. What Endrick is doing at his age is unbelievable, even with the few minutes.”

Aside the goal, Carlo Ancelotti was also referring to Endrick’s recent decision to get married at the age of 18.
