Real Madrid teenager is making most of limited chances in Copa del Rey | OneFootball

Real Madrid forward Endrick is making the most of his chances in the Copa del Rey, and his recent performance against Leganes highlights his potential.

After scoring against last night in a 3-2 win, he became the team’s top scorer in the competition, with a total of three goals in the tournament.

This impressive tally sees him ranking as Madrid’s top scorer in the competition, just one goal shy of Julian Alvarez, Jaime Mata and Luis Suarez who lead the Copa del Rey with four goals.

Endrick’s contributions also put him ahead of other notable scorers in the tournament, including Luka Modric, Federico Valverde, and Arda Guler, each with two goals.

Endrick’s performances have also solidified his importance for the team. His two crucial goals in extra time against Celta were pivotal, securing Real Madrid’s place in the quarter-finals after a late collapse had forced the game into extra time.

These moments showcase his composure and ability to perform when the team needs it most.

As things stand, Endrick’s five goals make him the sixth-highest scorer for Real Madrid this season, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, and Valverde ahead of him.

Although his opportunities in La Liga have been limited, Endrick has shown he can be relied upon in key moments, particularly in the Copa del Rey. His rise through the ranks of Madrid’s attacking options is something to keep an eye on as the season progresses.
