Endrick continued to impress in a Lyon shirt, shining against PSG, bringing his total goal contributions to 14 and increasing his chances of returning to Real Madrid.
Endrick is entering his best period since joining Lyon on loan from Real Madrid.
In the Ligue 1 match against Paris Saint-Germain, the Brazilian forward was the standout player on the pitch. He scored one goal, provided one assist, and actively participated in defensive duties.
This all-around performance further demonstrates the clear maturation of the striker born in 2006. No longer just a talent driven by instinct for scoring goals, Endrick is perfecting his ability to play as a team player and contributing more to the tactical system.
After the match, Endrick shared: “I’m very happy with the goal and the assist. Scoring, assisting, and defending well requires a lot of effort.”
Coach Paulo Fonseca also praised his player. The Portuguese manager emphasized that he was most pleased with Endrick's work ethic when the team didn't have possession of the ball.
Not long before, Fonseca had asked the young striker to improve his aggression and tactical discipline. Endrick had at one point lost his starting place, but responded by training hard and quickly returning to the starting lineup.
Another significant change lies in his playing role. At Lyon, Endrick not only played as a central striker but was also used on the right wing. His speed, dribbling ability, and unpredictability allowed him to excel in this area.
This is a significant sign for Real Madrid, who are looking for more long-term options for the right flank of their attack.
To date, Endrick has scored 7 goals and provided 7 assists for Lyon, directly contributing to 14 goals in his short time with the French club. He scored on his debut, assisted in his second game, and scored a hat-trick in his third.
Lyon are competing for a UEFA Champions League spot, and Endrick is increasingly proving his worth as one of Brazil's brightest talents.
The loan agreement will expire on June 30th. According to Spanish media, Real Madrid's plan is to bring Endrick back to the Bernabeu this summer to compete for a starting position.
After his apprenticeship in France, Endrick is very close to a major turning point in his career.
