  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Not content with scoring against England and Spain at two of European football's most iconic venues, the 17-year-old was back on duty for his club as they faced Novorizontino in the semi-final of the Campeonato Paulista, a competition for clubs from the state of Sao Paulo.

  With the game deadlocked in the second half, Endrick latched on to a knockdown inside the box and lashed Palmeiras through to the final. To add a flourish, the teenager grabbed a banner displaying the club crest and paraded it triumphantly in front of delighted home fans.

  The goal capped quite a week for the forward who announced himself to a global audience with his heroics for the Selecao and prompted debate about how Real Madrid will employ his talents when he arrives in the Spanish capital this summer.

  With fellow Brazilians Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo set to be joined by Endrick, and in all likelihood Kylian Mbappe, Carlo Ancelotti may have some welcome selection problems on his hands come August.
