Brazil sensation Endrick had a dream Real Madrid debut, scoring in a 3-0 win over Real Valladolid on Sunday.
The 18-year-old joined up with Los Blancos this summer after an agreement which was reached with Palmeiras in December 2022.
He signed a six-year contract with the 15-time European champions and already looks set to be a world star for years to come.
He was an unused substitute in the UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta and failed to get on the pitch in the 1-1 draw with RCD Mallorca last week.
But Endrick got his opportunity as a sub against Valladolid at the Santiago Bernabeu and made it count.

The Brazil international scored a stunning solo goal to make it 3-0 in the 96th minute, smashing home at the near post with his weaker right foot.
Endrick was overcome with joy at finding the net and becomes Real's youngest ever foreign scorer in La Liga, aged 18 years and 35 days.
Federico Valverde and Brahim Diaz were also on target for the champions, who claimed their first win of the new domestic season.

Real are incredibly well-stocked for attackers and the arrival of Kylian Mbappe had many wondering whether Endrick would struggle for game-time and require a loan move.
However, prior to Endrick opening his account, Carlo Ancelotti stressed that he will get minutes.
"He's doing very well, like the others," Ancelotti said in a press conference.
"He's adapting very well. He has impressive qualities and he'll get the minutes he deserves, taking into account the competition there is in this team."
