Real Madrid secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid<\/strong><\/a> on Sunday at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, opening their account in La Liga with a decisive win. However, all eyes were on the French superstar Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, who was making his home debut in front of the Madrid faithful. To the surprise of many, Mbapp\u00e9 failed to find the back of the net for the second consecutive match, leaving the door wide open for 18-year-old Brazilian prodigy Endrick to steal the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n

Mbapp\u00e9’s Frustrating Home Debut<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, one of the most anticipated signings in recent Real Madrid history, took to the pitch with high expectations. The French forward had a golden opportunity to open the scoring just nine minutes into the game. Receiving a long pass from center-back Antonio R\u00fcdiger, Mbapp\u00e9 found himself in a promising position on the left edge of the penalty area. However, his powerful shot was met with a spectacular save from Valladolid’s goalkeeper Jordi Masip, who managed to deny the former PSG star.<\/p>\n\n\n

Despite Madrid\u2019s dominance in possession, the breakthrough only came in the 50th minute, and it wasn\u2019t from the boot of Mbapp\u00e9. Instead, it was Federico Valverde who stepped up to take a free kick just outside the penalty area. His powerful strike took a deflection off a Valladolid defender, wrong-footing Masip and sending the ball into the back of the net, giving Real Madrid the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mbapp\u00e9, eager to make his mark, had a few more chances throughout the game. His best opportunity came in the 79th minute when he connected with a low cross from Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior, attempting a cheeky backheel flick. Unfortunately, it lacked the necessary power and precision, allowing Masip to make yet another save. Frustration was evident on Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s face as he was substituted just three minutes later, still searching for his first La Liga goal.<\/p>\n\n\n

Endrick’s Dream Debut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While the spotlight was firmly on Mbapp\u00e9, it was Endrick, the 18-year-old Brazilian sensation, who provided the final flourish for Real Madrid. Substituted in during the late stages of the match, Endrick wasted no time in making his presence felt. In the 88th minute, Brahim D\u00edaz, another substitute, doubled Madrid\u2019s lead with a well-taken chip over Masip, but it was Endrick who delivered the knockout punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In stoppage time, Endrick received the ball at the edge of the box, deftly maneuvered past a Valladolid defender, and unleashed a thunderous shot that rocketed into the net. The Santiago Bernab\u00e9u erupted in applause as the young Brazilian marked his debut with a sensational goal, sealing a comprehensive 3-0 victory for Los Blancos. Endrick’s performance was a reminder of the bright future that awaits Real Madrid, even as they navigate the growing pains of integrating a global superstar like Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ancelotti’s Take on the Match<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the match, Real Madrid\u2019s manager Carlo Ancelotti was quick to defend his star striker. \u201cKylian is a fantastic forward. He has incredible speed, great movement off the ball, and is very dangerous behind defenders. He had three or four good chances today, and it\u2019s only a matter of time before he starts scoring. He doesn\u2019t necessarily need to play on the left wing; he can thrive as a central striker, and I\u2019m confident that the goals will come,\u201d Ancelotti said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ancelotti also praised Endrick, highlighting the young forward\u2019s potential. \u201cEndrick has shown great promise. His goal today is just a glimpse of what he\u2019s capable of. He\u2019s a classic center-forward, very dangerous in tight spaces, and has a natural instinct for goal-scoring. We\u2019re excited to see him develop,\u201d Ancelotti added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
