Real Madrid fans are calling for Endrick to start over Kylian Mbappe after the Brazilian teenager scored in the club’s 3-1 win against VfB Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League. The match, held at the Santiago Bernabeu on September 17, saw both teams deliver strong performances, but it was Endrick’s late contribution that stole the spotlight.
Stuttgart started the game brightly and were close to scoring in the 28th minute when Deniz Undav’s effort hit the crossbar. Despite the pressure, Real Madrid responded quickly after halftime, with Kylian Mbappe scoring just 20 seconds into the second half to give Los Blancos a 1-0 lead. However, Stuttgart continued to threaten and eventually equalized in the 68th minute when an unmarked Undav headed home from a corner.
With the game tied, Real Madrid pushed for a winner, and it was Antonio Rudiger’s 83rd-minute header that restored their lead. In the dying moments of the match, Endrick, who had come on as a substitute for Jude Bellingham in the 80th minute, capped off a counter-attack with a brilliant finish in stoppage time (90+5′) to seal a 3-1 victory for the hosts.
Despite playing only a short time, Endrick’s impact was undeniable. He created a chance and scored with his only shot on target, showcasing his efficiency. The summer signing has now scored two goals in just five appearances, despite only accumulating 20 minutes of playing time. This impressive form has led some Real Madrid fans to suggest that Endrick should start ahead of Mbappe, who was expected to be the main star for the team.
One fan boldly stated, “Walahi, Endrick should start ahead of Mbappe,” while another echoed the sentiment, tweeting, “I think we need to start a conversation about Mbappe. Endrick totally needs to start in his place.” Other fans also joined the conversation, with comments like, “Honestly, they need to start Endrick at least for one game and let Mbappe sit on the bench.” Some even joked that “Endrick is going to send Mbappe back to Ligue 1.”
Real Madrid’s goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, also shared his thoughts on the game, admitting that Stuttgart gave the team a tough challenge, especially in the first 25 minutes. Courtois, who was named Player of the Match, made six crucial saves and eight recoveries to keep his side in the game. Despite Stuttgart’s impressive offensive display, which saw them register 17 shots (with seven on target), Real Madrid found a way to improve in the second half, taking 20 shots with eight on target and ultimately securing the win.
Courtois acknowledged that Stuttgart put up a strong fight, especially in the early stages, but praised his teammates for stepping up when it mattered. He noted that the match was difficult, but Real Madrid’s ability to respond and capitalize on their opportunities made the difference. With a solid start to their Champions League campaign, the team will look to build on this momentum, with fans eager to see more of Endrick in future matches.Endrick’s late heroics in Real Madrid’s 3-1 win over VfB Stuttgart have sparked calls from fans for the Brazilian teenager to start over Kylian Mbappe.
