Brazil and Real Madrid phenom Endrick made his Champions League debut on Tuesday and made it a memorable one as he scored in a 3-1 victory vs. Stuttgart.
Endrick was substituted into the game for Jude Bellingham in the 80th minute and scored 15 minutes later in stoppage time to secure the win.
A Real Madrid counterattack saw the 18-year-old ignore the options of passing the ball to either Kylian Mbappé or Vini Jr. as he took the opportunity himself from 30 yards out.
Had Endrick not scored here he would’ve gotten an earful from his teammates. Mbappé initially put his hands up in frustration but then could only stare in amazement as his young teammate found the back of the net.

Fans widely agreed that taking the shot was the last thing Endrick should’ve done, but he proved everyone wrong with an incredible goal.
The jokes write themselves with the move being compared to the time Jeremy Lin waved off Kobe Bryant while playing with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Despite only accumulating 20 minutes of game time across five appearances this season, Endrick has still managed to score twice.
A star in the making.
