Real Madrid secured a crucial victory over Getafe, bringing them closer to the top of La Liga, but Endrick’s lack of involvement was a notable disappointment in the match.
Following the defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, Real Madrid’s objective was to get back on track, and they succeeded against Getafe with goals from Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham. This win put Carlo Ancelotti’s side just one point behind Barcelona in the standings.
Despite this, many Real Madrid fans were eager to see Endrick play at the Santiago Bernabéu, but that didn’t happen. Although the Brazilian warmed up on the bench during the second half, coach Carlo Ancelotti opted not to give him any minutes on the field.
Ancelotti explained his decision by saying: “We wanted to give Kylian more time so that he could leave the pitch feeling better. That’s why Endrick didn’t play.” This reasoning left many fans confused, as they couldn’t understand why Endrick was left out despite preparing thoroughly.
Since the defeat to Lille, Endrick hasn’t had much playing time, indicating a loss of confidence from the coach. He was completely absent during the Getafe match, which saw strong performances from the rest of the team. After the final whistle, Endrick worked with fitness coach Pintus on the pitch. It remains to be seen whether Ancelotti will offer him a chance in future games.
