Jude Bellingham, Endrick’s future teammate who is moving to Real Madrid, was dubbed a “superstar” when Bellingham scored Brazil’s game-winning goal against England.
At Wembley on Saturday, the 17-year-old scored the game’s lone goal after Vinicius Junior got past England’s defense in the 80th minute. The highly-regarded adolescent, who will turn 18 this summer and join Real Madrid from Brazilian team Palmeiras, then moved to Instagram to celebrate the triumph and give Bellingham, his soon-to-be Real Madrid teammate, some love at a post-match meeting.
The Brazilian sensation described a snapshot of himself with Bellingham, who signed with Los Blancos last summer after leaving Borussia Dortmund, as “Superstar @JudeBellingham” on his Instagram story.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Considered one of Brazil’s most promising young players, Endrick displayed a taste of his immense potential on a grand scale during his match against England. Once he ultimately joins Real Madrid in 2022, after coming to an arrangement with Palmeiras in which the Spanish powerhouses agreed to pay his €60 million (£52 million/$64 million) release clause, his star will only rise from there.
The talented Brazilian, who netted his nation’s first goal in his third appearance against the Three Lions, may play again for the national team on Tuesday when Dorival Junior’s squad plays Spain to close up the international break.
