Brazilian sensation Endrick made his Real Madrid debut in a 1-0 friendly loss to AC Milan on Wednesday. The match, held at Chicago's Soldier Field in front of a crowd of 61,568 spectators, showcased the 18-year-old forward's skills. Despite the absence of key players like Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo, Endrick had a notable performance.
During his 45 minutes on the field, Endrick managed one shot on goal before being substituted at halftime as part of a strategic rotation by manager Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti praised Endrick's exceptional abilities, highlighting his speed, agility in tight spaces, and quick turns as standout qualities that make him a promising talent.
Nigeria winger Samuel Chukwueze scored the winning goal for AC Milan in the 56th minute, securing their second victory in two pre-season matches under the guidance of manager Paulo Fonseca. Despite the loss, Ancelotti commended his team's effort, noting their competitiveness and determination throughout the game.
Real Madrid's upcoming fixture in the United States tour is a highly anticipated 'El Clasico' showdown against Barcelona in New Jersey on Saturday. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, especially with the potential participation of star players like Mbappé and Chelsea.
