In what could have been a decisive moment at Wanda Metropolitano, tempers flared as Atletico Madrid fans hurled objects at Thibaut Courtois following Eder Militao’s 64th-minute goal. The incident forced both teams to retreat to the locker rooms. Eventually, they returned to the pitch, and the heated match ended in a 1-1 draw.
But now, Real Madrid fans have set their sights on young star Endrick, voicing harsh opinions on social media. Many believe that had he passed the ball to Jude Bellingham, their chances of winning would have dramatically increased. Here are some of the shocking reactions from Madrid fans:
• “Endrick should be locked in a room and whipped. His main character syndrome is going to ruin him.”
• “I rewatched Endrick’s chance and it was worse than I thought. He doesn’t look like a professional footballer.”
• “Endrick blew everything, man… Jude was wide open, screw him and his shoot-first tactic, he’s such an immature kid.”
• “Endrick’s comedy wasn’t funny until it cost us two points in such a big match.”
• “Subbing in Endrick cost them the game. He’s playing on his own terms.”
While fans were heavily critical of Endrick’s performance, Carlo Ancelotti took a more measured stance. The Real Madrid coach agreed that the Brazilian could have passed the ball to Bellingham, but he didn’t see it as a disaster. Ancelotti commented, “I don’t think it was as clear as in the Stuttgart game. He could have passed to Bellingham, but I don’t see this as a drama.”
With only minutes left, Real Madrid had the chance to close the gap between them and Barcelona to just one point. However, Correa’s equalizer kept them three points behind the Catalan giants. Nevertheless, it’s early in the season, with just eight matches played, and Ancelotti’s side remains confident that Hansi Flick’s team will drop points.
Despite the growing criticism, Endrick continues to struggle for regular minutes off the bench, but he is gradually working his way into the first team under Ancelotti. Real Madrid’s next challenge comes on October 2nd, when they face Lille in a crucial Champions League encounter.
