Brazil's 17-year-old rising star, Endrick, made history by becoming the youngest men's player to score an international goal at Wembley. The Real Madrid-bound forward, who will join the Spanish giants when he turns 18 at the end of the season, netted the winning goal in the 80th minute against England in a friendly match.
Endrick expressed his overwhelming emotions after the match, stating, 'My family is here, my girlfriend, my agents. I am not much of a crier, I am holding myself, but this is something unique and I am very happy.'
His goal, coming just nine minutes after he was subbed on, secured a 1-0 victory for Brazil. The talented youngster seized the opportunity, capitalizing on a chance created by Vinícius Júnior to find the back of the net.
Endrick's goal not only marked his first senior goal for Brazil but also set a record for the youngest player to score in an international game at Wembley, at the age of 17 years and 246 days.
Brazil's coach, Dorival Junior, praised Endrick's performance, highlighting his potential to become a global star in football. Despite missing a late chance to score another goal, Endrick's impact on the match was undeniable.
Endrick's transfer to Real Madrid in December 2022, valued at nearly €60 million, was a testament to his immense talent and potential. He will join the ranks of other Brazilian stars at Madrid, including Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo.
Endrick's remarkable achievement against England ended their 21-game unbeaten streak at Wembley, showcasing his ability to make an immediate impact on the international stage. His performance has solidified his status as one of Brazil's most promising talents.
The young forward's next challenge awaits as Brazil prepares to face Spain in Madrid on Tuesday, where Endrick will look to continue his impressive run and further establish himself as a key player for both club and country.
