Who is the boss? It's Kylian Mbappé. This season, the 26 -year -old Frenchman is more than ever the Real Madrid star. Number 10 on the back, the tricolor striker is already 14 goals and 1 assist in 12 appearances in all competitions. Behind him, the others must be satisfied with crumbs. Sparkling at the Club World Cup in the United States, during which he scored goals and points with Xabi Alonso, Gonzalo Garcia (21) inherited the role of km10 lining. The Merengues, who extended his lease until 2030, had even hesitated to entrust him with the number 9. But finally, he returned to Endrick.
Whatever, the Spaniard is the replacement for Mbappé. This season, it was used on 6 times all competitions, but only once as a holder (101 minutes of play). If GOLZALO did not find the net, he delivered an assist at the moment. Behind him, we find Endrick (19). The Brazilian started the injured season (hamstring). He worked all summer to get back in legs. Although the leaders invited him to go on loan, he refused, determined to win in his second year in the Spanish capital. But for the moment, it does not have the opportunity.
0 minute played for the moment
Given a thigh concern, it has been available since September 14. Present in the different groups summoned by the staff for the meetings, he did not have a single crumb to put himself under tooth. Indeed, he remained stuck on the bench during the 4 games in which he could have taken part. Replacing against Espanyol Barcelona, Levante and Atlético de Madrid en Liga, he could have had a few minutes on Tuesday on the occasion of the meeting against Kairat Almaty in the Champions League. But Xabi Alonso offered minutes of play to Gonzalo Garcia, who replaced Mbappé after his Hat-Trick.
For Endrick (0 minute played this season), it's a new blow. But it is also a clear message from the staff and the club. Recently, the Cadena Cope revealed that the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium wish to send it on loan this winter. International Auriverde, who has the 2026 World Cup in line of sight, does not intend to move for the moment. He may see his position if his situation continues. In Brazil, where we follow his evolution very closely, his case worried a few months from the World Cup.
Endrick is behind Mbappé and GOLZALO in the hierarchy
Spear! wrote about it: “After recovering from his injury, Endrick returned to the Real Madrid team against Espanyol on September 20. However, the center-forward has not yet walked the ground after four matches on the bench. In the Champions League, the Brazilian saw Gonzalo García entering the Kairat and actively participating in the action that led to the goal of Brahim Díaz, delivering a decisive pass to his teammate. As a result, Endrick still has no clear perspective in his quest for a place in Real Madrid. ” In Spain, his case causes ink to flow. AS spoke of the Brazilian, who is missing at the moment.“The Brazilian is the only field player available not to have played yet. The striker is working to save playing time. The Brazilian believes in his potential and refused to leave. The attacker strives to convince Xabi Alonso and to be ready when the manager gives him his luck. Endrick hopes that Alonon will offer him more opportunities to prove his importance to Madrid. ”
Marca believes that it will not be easy for him. “The emergence of Gonzalo García during the Club World Cup has raised offensive competition at an unexpected level. Mbappé becoming the untouchable centerpiece of the attack, every minute that will escape him will be the one that Endrick and the young player will be competed. A silent and unexpected battle … but relentless, where every detail will count. ” For the moment, Endrick is the big loser. But he can still change the situation. At a press conference this Friday, Xabi Alonso also reached his hand in his own way. “They (Endrick and Rodrygo, Editor's note) are ready. Endrick has already been in great shape and has been training well for weeks. You have to consider the context of the match: it has a brutal goal and finish. Competition is tough. The moment will come. “ Endrick hopes that this moment will arrive quickly …
