Real Madrid triumphed over Stuttgart 3-1 last night at the Santiago Bernabéu in a match that sparked considerable discussion, despite some anti-club fans hoping to undermine the team. Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance in this Champions League game, noting that the victory reflects the stability within the Real Madrid locker room.
According to Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, the win also showcased the character of 18-year-old Endrick, who demonstrated impressive maturity despite his limited experience in European football.
In his post-match comments, Ancelotti praised the young player: “He was courageous, made the best decision in a three-on-one situation, and displayed great determination to score. His performance was outstanding, even though the choice was tough, but he has the ability to do the unexpected, as shown by his shot at that moment. He possesses unique talent, which is evident in training.”
Endrick’s impressive performances in recent weeks have ignited discussions in Madrid about the possibility of him starting in upcoming matches. This perspective is backed by Davide Ancelotti, who believes Endrick has earned the opportunity based on his strong showings. Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti remains cautious but is contemplating the idea of including Endrick in the lineup for upcoming games, particularly against Espanyol or Deportivo Alaves.
