Real Madrid managed to pull off a crucial 1-0 win over Real Sociedad, thanks to an impressive performance from young forward Endrick.
This victory came amidst several challenges, including a difficult moment for the team and a key player’s injury.
The match was far from easy for Los Blancos. Dani Ceballos, who had been performing superbly, suffered an injury in the dying moments of the game.
He struggled to walk off the field and had to rely on his teammate to support him as he left the pitch, visibly upset.
The tension was high early on, with a particularly disturbing incident during the first half.
Home fans directed shocking death threats at Real Madrid`s Raúl Asensio, a young defender who has become an important part of the team this season.
The referee had to stop the game for a brief period, but Asensio remained composed.
To ensure he stayed focused, coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to substitute him at halftime.
Despite these unsettling moments, Real Madrid held their ground and earned a hard-fought victory.
The match’s defining moment came in the 19th minute, with Endrick scoring a brilliant goal to give Madrid the lead.
The Brazilian’s shot hit the post just a few minutes later, highlighting his growing potential.
It was a special moment for the 18-year-old, who has had limited playing time in recent months but seized this opportunity to shine.
Ancelotti couldn’t stop praising the young talent after the game, saying, “He’s dazzling. Every time he gets the chance, he shows off his incredible skills. He’s perfect, truly remarkable. He’s fast, and there’s still so much potential for improvement.”
The coach continued, “His dribbling, wow. His runs… the shots he takes with his feet… He could have had a second goal, that incredible shot that hit the post… He’s dazzling. He’s so young, but he learns so quickly.”
Endrick wasn’t the only young player to feature in the starting lineup. Arda Güler, another promising talent, also had a chance to make an impact in the match.
Though he has had even fewer opportunities than Endrick, his performance helped Madrid secure the win.
Ancelotti spoke about the team’s progress, saying, “We’ve been in a good phase. Today, we made many changes, but we were still flawless, solid, and strong defensively. We should be happy with this result. It was a tough match against an opponent who gave their all. We are returning with a good result ahead of the next leg.”
Overall, it was a hard-fought victory for Real Madrid, who had to battle both the opposition and difficult circumstances.
The win provides the team with the confidence they need going into their next match.
