Mourinho reacted in the 59th minute by taking off Vinicius Junior and sending Endrick onto the pitch. The decision proved decisive. Carlos Espí pulled one goal back late on before Endrick struck the equalizer, completing Madrid's remarkable recovery from 3-1 down.

Real Madrid did not stop there. Antonio Rüdiger added the fourth goal to complete an extraordinary 4-3 victory, while Endrick's impact from the bench became one of the main stories of the night. After the final whistle, the Brazilian received the award for the best player of the match.

The result also continued Real Madrid's perfect start in the Champions League: Mourinho's team now have six points from their opening two matches after previously beating Inter 2-1.

It is worth noting that Endrick spent part of last season on loan at Lyon, making 16 Ligue 1 appearances, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. His contract with Real Madrid runs until the summer of 2030.
