Endrick scores as Madrid claims first LaLiga win
Endrick scored his first Real Madrid goal as Carlo Ancelotti's side claimed a first win of the LaLiga season after beating Real Valladolid 3-0.
Federico Valverde and Brahim Diaz were also on target for Los Blancos, who struck three times in the second half despite a generally lacklustre display at Santiago Bernabeu.
After a goalless first half, Madrid broke the deadlock within five minutes of the restart, as Valverde sent a thumping 25-yard free-kick through the Valladolid wall and beyond goalkeeper Karl Hein.
The reigning LaLiga champion had to wait until the 88th minute to establish breathing space with substitute Diaz latching on to Eder Militao's long ball and slotting home.
Endrick, who also climbed off the bench, added gloss to the scoreline late when he rounded off a swift counter in the sixth minute of stoppage-time.
Entering the contest as an 86th-minute substitute, Endrick took just 10 minutes to announce himself to Santiago Bernabeu with his new side's third goal.
At 18 years and 35 days old, the Brazil international became the youngest Madrid player to score on his LaLiga debut in the 21st Century, and the first foreign player to achieve the feat overall.
His effort was provided by Diaz, who scored and assisted in a single match in any competition across Europe's top five leagues as a substitute for the first time in his career (207 appearances).
Los Blancos have now won each of their past six league meetings with Valladolid without conceding, while their opponent has lost on four successive trips to the Spanish capital for the first time since a run of six in November 2012.
Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti insisted after the game that supporters must be patient with Mbappe after what was a lacklustre home debut.
The France star failed to find the net despite registering joint game-high tallies of three shots on target and eight touches in the opposing penalty box.
"Mbappe is a spectacular striker, very quick, he moves very well without the ball," Ancelotti said.
"In this position, he is going to score as he has always scored. He doesn't need to play on the left or in the centre. In the end, he will score goals. Wait and see."
Ancelotti also saluted the impact of his substitutes in securing Madrid's first LaLiga win of the new season.
"The taste of a win is always good. When we win a game, I have to be happy, taking into account the difficulties we had, especially in the first half when we were slow and soft," the Italian said.
"We were better after the break, with much more mobility and speed in possession. I am very happy for those who come off the bench and take advantage of the few minutes they have.
"Setting the line-up is always complicated, it bothers me, it makes me a bit sad, even though it's my responsibility. I'm the one who has to choose the 11 players that start the match.
"Bearing in mind that in this period of the season, in the heat, it is expected that players get tired. So, it would be right that when a player is tired, he should raise his hand and ask to be replaced. But in my 40 years in football, it has never happened.
"So, it is up to me, the coach, to pick out the ones I think are tired. I think the players have to be more responsible with that. I say it here because I have said it to them privately. I have a lot of resources to use in this squad."
