Real Madrid Fans Slam Endrick After Costly Moment in Atletico Madrid Draw
Real Madrid’s young forward, Endrick, is facing harsh criticism from fans after a pivotal moment in the team’s 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid. In a tense match at the Wanda Metropolitano, Endrick’s decision-making late in the game has come under fire, with many supporters blaming him for squandering a chance to secure the win for Los Blancos.
The clash between city rivals was as heated as ever, with Real Madrid taking the lead in the 64th minute through Eder Militao. The atmosphere turned hostile when Atletico Madrid fans began throwing objects at goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, temporarily halting the match. After play resumed, Real Madrid appeared to be on course for victory until Angel Correa found the net, leveling the score for Atletico with a well-timed finish.
The controversy arose when Endrick, who came on as a substitute, had a clear opportunity to pass to an unmarked Jude Bellingham in the dying moments of the game. Instead, the Brazilian chose to take the shot himself, missing the target and leaving Madrid fans fuming.
The reaction from Real Madrid supporters was swift and unforgiving. On social media, fans did not hold back, with one user, @AFC_Fazeel, harshly criticizing Endrick’s decision, writing, “Endrick needs to be locked up in a room and lashed. His main character syndrome will cost him.” Another fan, @FCBJimmy_, expressed frustration: “Rewatched the Endrick chance, and it’s even worse than I thought. He doesn’t look like a professional player.”
@saweezo echoed the sentiment, saying, “Endrick ruined it, man… Jude was wide open! F*** him and his selfishness.” Others, like @MHassanFootball, noted the gravity of the mistake, adding, “Endrick’s errors are funny until they cost us two points in a game this big.”
While fans were quick to criticize, head coach Carlo Ancelotti was more measured in his response. “It wasn’t as clear of a play as people are making it out to be,” Ancelotti said when asked about the incident. “He could have passed to Bellingham, yes, but it’s not the end of the world.”
The draw leaves Real Madrid three points behind league leaders Barcelona, with the gap between the two sides unchanged after eight games. Ancelotti’s men will now be looking to regroup ahead of their upcoming Champions League fixture against Lille on October 2.
Endrick’s role at the club remains uncertain as he continues to fight for regular minutes. While his talent is undeniable, moments like this will put more pressure on the 17-year-old to prove himself on the biggest stages. The young Brazilian will be eager to bounce back and make a stronger impact in future matches.
