According to Spanish publication Marca, Ancelotti is considering playing with four midfielders in a bid to fit both Mbappe and Endrick into the same side, rather than the three they usually play with, with the move likely to be put into practice on away days and in demanding fixtures.

Endrick scored a sensational goal for Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday. He explained why he didn't pass to his teammates Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.

Carlo Ancelotti has hailed Real Madrid striker Endrick as a “very special player” after scoring on his Champions League debut. The 16-year-old, an 80th minute substitute, scored Madrid’s third goal in injury time to complete a 3-1 home victory over Stuttgart.
