It was not an easy game for Real Madrid in their first match in the new Champions League format. Carlo Ancelotti’s team had to wait until the 83rd minute to break the deadlock in a tough game against Stuttgart, who had started off with a goal from Kylian Mbappé.

After Deniz Undav’s partial equaliser, Antonio Rudiger scored the 2-1 for Real Madrid and then, in added time, Brazilian Endrick also scored his first goal for Real Madrid in the Champions League to seal the match.
Ancelotti, in the press conference after the match, praised the work of Endrick, who is just 18 years old and joined the squad this semester from Palmeiras.
“Endrick was brave, because it was the last ball of the match. The best solution was to take advantage of the three-on-one, but he did it very well, although it was perhaps the most complicated solution, because it worked out very well for him,” he said.
“He is capable of doing something that nobody thinks of, because I couldn’t imagine that he would shoot in that situation. He has this gift, he has shown it in the matches and in training. He has a very strong and very fast shot,” he added.
Ancelotti’s joke about Endrick’s marriage
The Real Madrid coach joked about Endrick’s recent wedding. The footballer announced that he had married Gabriely Miranda, with whom he has been in a relationship since 2022, without giving further details about when and how the ceremony took place.
“The wedding? Private life is a bit more difficult for me, but I think that in these two days he has shown himself to be very brave in every sense,” said Ancelotti.
