Endrick produced a sensational late cameo as Real Madrid came from behind to beat Roma 4–3, prompting supporters to call for the Brazilian to start against Barcelona.
Real Madrid supporters have made their feelings clear after Endrick helped inspire a dramatic comeback victory against Roma, with many demanding the young forward be given a starting role ahead of El Clásico.
Madrid looked in serious trouble at the Stadio Olimpico, trailing Roma before a late flurry turned the contest on its head.
Kylian Mbappé had scored earlier for the visitors, but Roma threatened to take control before Madrid’s substitutes changed the game.
Carlos Espí pulled Madrid back into the contest before Endrick struck to make it 3-3. Antonio Rüdiger then completed the comeback with a late winner, sealing a remarkable 4-3 victory.
Although Endrick did not score the winning goal, his impact was central to Madrid’s turnaround and supporters were quick to make their feelings known afterwards.
‘What a cameo from Endrick’
Endrick’s performance quickly became one of the biggest talking points among Madrid supporters.
One fan wrote: “WHAT A CAMEO FROM ENDRICK.”
They added that the Brazilian had nearly scored with a header before helping set up Carlos Espí’s goal, before finding the net himself just two minutes later.
Another supporter was even more emphatic, posting: “MY BOY ENDRICK HAS SAVED JOSE MOURINHO! HE IS HIM!!!!!”
The reaction reflected the excitement surrounding Endrick’s ability to make an immediate difference despite coming off the bench.
For a young forward looking to establish himself, a decisive contribution in a seven-goal European contest is exactly the kind of performance that can strengthen his case for more opportunities.
And with Barcelona looming, Madrid fans believe the timing could hardly be better.
Fans want Endrick to start against Barcelona
The reaction was not limited to praise for Endrick’s cameo.
Supporters were already looking ahead to El Clásico, with some suggesting the Brazilian should be part of the starting line-up.
One fan wrote: “Endrick and Espi with Mbappe in El Clasico.”
Another argued that Endrick, Espí and Arda Güler should all start regularly, while a further supporter called for Endrick to feature alongside Diomande in every game.
The message was consistent: Madrid’s younger attacking options deserve more opportunities after their influence against Roma.
Endrick’s direct running, willingness to attack the box and ability to produce a moment of quality made him a particular favourite among those calling for a change.
Espí also earned praise after contributing to the comeback, while Güler’s involvement in Endrick’s equaliser added to calls for the club to make greater use of its attacking depth.
A selection dilemma ahead of El Clásico
Madrid’s victory will provide a huge confidence boost, but the performance also raises questions about how the team should approach their next major fixture.
Supporters were particularly critical of the midfield combination of Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde, with one arguing that the pair would never fully click together.
Others believe the answer is to give more responsibility to the younger players who helped turn the game around.
For Endrick, the challenge now is turning a memorable cameo into a more consistent role.
His performance against Roma has given supporters another reason to believe he can make a difference in the biggest matches, but whether he starts against Barcelona remains to be seen.
Endrick has given Madrid fans something to believe in
Real Madrid’s 4-3 victory will be remembered for its dramatic finish, but Endrick’s contribution could prove just as significant for his own season.
The Brazilian did not score the winning goal, yet his equaliser helped set up the late turnaround and ensured Madrid left Rome with all three points.
For supporters, that was enough to reignite the debate over his place in the team.
With El Clásico approaching, the pressure is now on the coaching staff to decide whether Endrick has done enough to earn a starting opportunity.
If the reaction online is anything to go by, many Madrid fans have already made their choice.
