Endrick, a future Real Madrid great, witnessed the Blancos’ commanding performance as they defeated Villarreal on Sunday at Santiago Bernabeu.
Consequently, what happened?
The 17-year-old met his future teammates on his first visit to the Valdebebas training facility earlier this week after flying to Madrid. Following that, he proceeded to Bernabeu to watch Real Madrid vs. Villarreal, Sunday’s La Liga match.

The teenager was there when Jude Bellingham opened the score, and Luka Modric gave a fantastic assist. Lucas Vazquez found the seasoned midfielder on the brink of the box. The England international then made his first attempt to reach the back of the net after he lobbed the ball in his direction. Then, in the 37th minute, Rodrygo increased his team’s lead thanks to assists from Vazquez.
Bellingham and Modric’s bond was a sign of things to come as both players performed exceptionally well in Sunday’s game. Brahim Diaz’s outstanding second-half performance was greatly aided by the Croatian, and Carlo Ancelotti’s team dominated.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Brazilian has already arrived in the capital of Spain, but he won’t be allowed to sign a formal contract with the team until he reaches 18 in the summer of next year. For the time being, he has been well greeted by his new club, particularly by manager Carlo Ancelotti, who encouraged the young player to have fun right now.
FUTURE PLANS FOR REAL MADRID?
After winning all three of their games against Villarreal, Ancelotti’s team temporarily reclaims the top spot in the league table with 42 points from 17 games. They play Alaves in La Liga on Thursday.
