New footage of Kylian Mbappe's reaction to Endrick's late goal in the Champions League has emerged and provides a full picture of the interaction between the two Real Madrid teammates.
Defending champions Madrid got their Champions League campaign underway with a win on Tuesday night as they beat Stuttgart 3-1 at the Bernabeu.
Mbappe, 25, opened the scoring with his fifth goal for Madrid before Deniz Undav equalised for the Bundesliga club.

Antonio Rudiger restored Madrid's lead with seven minutes to go before second-half substitute Endrick sealed the win with a long-range strike in the fifth minute of injury time.
It was his second goal for the club and his first in the Champions League, on his debut in the competition. It also made him Madrid's youngest ever Champions League scorer at 18 years, one month and 27 days old.
His decision to shoot from outside the box with Mbappe and Vinicius Jr arguably better placed was a topic of discussion after the match, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois admitting they would have "killed' the Brazilian if it hadn't gone in.
"If he missed, they [Vinicius and Mbappe] would have killed him," the Belgian said.

"But if he has the confidence to shoot, he has a super powerful shot. If he scores, everyone keeps quiet! He's a boy with a lot of quality. It shows his personality."
Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti also backed Endrick, claiming it showed the supreme confidence of the former Palmeiras wonderkid - who joined Madrid in the summer in a transfer which could rise to £60m including add-ons.
"He has balls! Endrick had courage," the Italian said.
"It was the last move of the game. He was convinced he'd score. He went for the most difficult solution, but it went well. In these two days, he's shown himself to be brave, in every sense."
Previously unseen footage has now emerged showing Mbappe's immediate reaction to Endrick's shot, and proves the France international wasn't furious with his younger teammate like some fans on social media had made out at the time.

In the clip, Mbappe initially calls for the ball and doesn't receive it, but then holds his hands up after seeing Endrick score from distance.
He shrugs his shoulders and pulls a facial expression as if to say 'fair enough'.
Mbappe then lets out a brief smile before walking over to the Brazilian to celebrate, suggesting he has no underlying problems with the Brazilian.
Endrick himself spoke about the incident after the game, saying: "I knew I had Kylian and Vini, but at that moment the best option was to shoot."

Ancelotti will be hoping his star-studded attacking unit continue to get on amid fierce competition for places in the starting line-up.
They next face Espanyol on Saturday and Alaves on Tuesday night before taking on rivals Atletico Madrid on September 29.
