A recent social media post of Real Madrid starlet Endrick signing jerseys and greeting fans following the club’s 1-1 draw against Mallorca stirred debate among fans, who criticized the 18-year-old forward.

Real Madrid struggled in their opening La Liga match against RCD Mallorca as the Los Blancos were unimpressive throughout, with Rodrygo netting their only goal in the 13th minute, assisted by Vinicius Jr. However, Mallorca leveled the score through Vedat Muriqi, and Ferland Mendy was sent off in the closing stages. Kylian Mbappe, who made his La Liga debut, also had a quiet performance.

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti chose not to give newly signed forward Endrick a chance to make his La Liga debut. The 18-year-old Brazilian faced criticism for his performances in pre-season friendlies, with some fans questioning the rationale behind signing him. Adding to the scrutiny, La Liga shared a video of the young Real Madrid star signing t-shirts and greeting fans after the match against Mallorca, despite not playing a single minute.

It will be intriguing to see if Endrick gets his debut when Real Madrid takes on Valladolid next week. Despite his recent arrival, he is already a titleholder with Los Blancos, having recently won the UEFA Super Cup after their victory over Atalanta.

Fans criticized Endrick, with some arguing that he’s received excessive media attention even before his debut.

Additionally, another video surfaced, showing Endrick being unimpressed by the Mallorca’s mascot. The mascot tried to playfully tease Endrick and his teammates, but the young player’s awkward reaction quickly went viral.
