UCL: Endrick reveals why he refused to pass to Mbappe, Vinicius


Real Madrid forward, Endrick, has disclosed why he decided to go for goal rather than pass to either Kylian Mbappe or Vinicius Junior, during the Spanish champion clash with Stuttgart.

Endrick scored as Real Madrid saw off the German team 3-1 in their first Uefa Champions League match on Tuesday night.

The Champions League trophy holders began the defence of their title with a huge victory at home.

Mbappe had opened the scoring for Madrid, before Deniz Undav restored parity.

However, goals from Antonio Rudiger and Endrick sealed the points for the LaLiga champions.

For the third goal, Endrick raced clear and with Mbappe and Endrick on either side, he elected to shoot from distance.

After the game, he was asked about the choice to go by himself.

He replied: “I knew I had Kylian and Vini, but at that moment the best option was to shoot.”
