Rome’s Olimpico produced a Champions League night to remember for Endrick, whose two decisive headers helped Real Madrid overturn Roma in a 4-3 win. The Brazilian, still only 20, set up Carlos Espí’s goal with one aerial challenge and then scored himself as Madrid completed the comeback.
Key takeaways
- Endrick has scored twice in 177 Champions League minutes, excluding stoppage time, equating to a goal every 88.5 minutes.
- The Roma match was his 11th appearance in the competition, spread across three editions.
- His first Champions League goal came against Stuttgart in September 2024, when he became Real Madrid’s youngest scorer in international competition.
- Real Madrid visit the Santiago Bernabéu next Wednesday to face RB Leipzig in the third round.
A brief but productive European record
Endrick’s Champions League involvement remains limited in volume but striking in return. Across 11 outings for Real Madrid, the former Palmeiras forward has accumulated only 177 minutes before added time is counted — not even the equivalent of two complete matches.
His first European appearance for Madrid came on 17 September 2024 against Stuttgart. Aged 18 years and 58 days, he entered after 80 minutes in a 3-1 victory under Carlo Ancelotti and scored in added time to complete the result.
That goal took him past Raúl González as the youngest Real Madrid player to score in an international competition. Raúl had been 18 years and 113 days old when he scored in October 1995, before going on to become one of the defining figures in the club’s modern history.
In the Italian capital, Endrick again made a major impression despite another short appearance. His header created the opening for Carlos Espí, and a second header found the net in a dramatic 4-3 victory over Roma.
