Real Madrid starlet Endrick has on Tuesday evening secured for himself a piece of altogether noteworthy recent club history.
This comes owing to developments in Los Blancos’ latest outing.
Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action, in the 2nd leg of a Copa del Rey semi-final showdown with Real Sociedad.
Carlo Ancelotti’s troops headed into the clash boasting a slender one-goal advantage, owing to a solitary strike on the part of Endrick at Anoeta.
And the Brazilian sensation has since proven himself key to his side’s fortunes once more on Tuesday.
After Ander Barrenetxea guided Real Sociedad into an early lead at the Santiago Bernabéu, Endrick soon levelled things up, in supreme style.
Slipped in behind by fellow countryman Vinícius Jr, the 18-year-old made no mistake in guiding a gorgeous dinked finish beyond the onrushing Álex Remiro.
And as alluded to above, in the process, Endrick secured for himself a piece of history.
As revealed by statisticians Opta:
‘Endrick Felipe has scored five goals in five games in the Copa del Rey 2024/25, becoming the first Real Madrid player to score five goals in the same edition of the tournament since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2012/13.’
