Endrick smashes Real Madrid record that's stood for 29 years on Champions League debut with outrageous goal

Real Madrid wonderkid Endrick has announced himself to European football with a stunning goal on his Champions League debut - and broken a club record in the process.

The 18-year-old officially joined Real in July after agreeing to sign for them back in December 2022.

He scored on his La Liga debut in August after coming off the bench for a five-minute cameo against Real Valladolid.

Tuesday night's clash against Stuttgart represented his Champions League bow - and he made sure to make his mark.

After Kylian Mbappe - who also scored his first European goal for Los Blancos - and Antonio Rudiger made it 2-1 to Real, Endrick added a third in the fifth minute of second half injury time in some style.

He picked up the ball in his own half before then charging at the Stuttgart defence.

He then kept on running, and despite having Mbappe on his left and Vinicius Junior on his right, opted to go it alone and let fly from 25 yards.

And while Stuttgart goalkeeper Alexander Nubel may have been disappointed not to keep it out, Endrick's shot was too powerful for him and it went into the back of the net to make it 3-1 to Real on the night.

In scoring the goal, Endrick has become Real's youngest-ever Champions League goalscorer at 18 years, one month and 27 days old.

The record was previously held by Raul, who opened his European account at the age of 18 years, three months and 21 days old.

The Brazilian, who scored in an international friendly against England in March, has already earned high praise from his team-mates.

Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois compared Endrick to his former Chelsea team-mate and ex-Real forward Eden Hazard, believing some of their mannerisms to be similar on the pitch.

He explained: "He is not very tall, but he is very strong in his legs.

"He's a bit like Eden when I met him at Chelsea - he also had strong legs.

"You can kick him and he'll still stand. And he has a lot of strength in the shot. In training, I have seen him shoot hard."
