Young talent Endrick continues to prove why he is expected to become a big star for Real Madrid, having just re-established a scoring milestone set by Cristiano Ronaldo more than a decade ago.

In the tense second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, coach Carlo Ancelotti trusted Endrick with a starting opportunity – and the Brazilian did not disappoint his coach or fans.

With an impressive goal contributing to the thrilling victory over Real Sociedad, Endrick not only shone professionally, but also went down in the team’s history.

According to Opta, Endrick has scored five goals in five appearances in the Copa del Rey this season – becoming the first Real Madrid player to do so since Ronaldo in the 2012/13 season. At that time, CR7 scored seven goals, but Real lost to Atletico in the final and missed out on the trophy.

Not only did Endrick score, he also showed his all-round ability. He had 29 touches, 4 shots, 2 key passes, 81% passing accuracy and 1 successful dribble.

After the match, Endrick said: “I’m here to help the team – whether it’s scoring goals, defending or giving my all for the title. We’re on the right track, we’re in the final and we’re going to fight for this trophy.”

Back to the match, Real had to work very hard to overcome Real Sociedad in the thrilling second leg. Despite being behind 4 times in the official 90 minutes, the goal in the 115th minute helped “Los Blancos” hold their opponents to a 4-4 draw (winning 5-4 on aggregate) to secure a ticket to the final and wait for their opponents, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid.
