Endrick was presented alongside the 15 European Cups, donning the number 16 Real Madrid shirt—a transitional number worn by many before him, signaling his first season with the club. Given the prestigious history and the team's current dynamics, this number carries a sense of premonition.

The Brazilian striker followed all signing protocols before stepping onto the Bernabéu pitch, impeccably dressed in a black suit and white shirt, which highlighted his impressive physique, unusual for an 18-year-old. Once in the Madrid kit, his muscular build tested the limits of the new season's shirt. His presence confirmed what Brazilian television had been broadcasting: he is a beast.

Cheered by more than 30,000 fans, Endrick’s appearance was not overshadowed by Mbappé. This is good news for the young player, who, unlike Vinicius or Rodrygo, won’t face the same immense pressure. Joining a champion team, Endrick’s path might be smoother than his predecessors, particularly Vinicius, who overcame severe criticism to become the world's best player in 2024. Vinicius serves as the ideal role model for Endrick.

Florentino Pérez, celebrated like a gladiator when he appeared at the Bernabéu after fulfilling Mbappé's dream, welcomed Endrick warmly. After the 360-degree video scoreboard showcased his best plays and goals for Palmeiras, it became clear that Madrid had secured a formidable talent. "He was born to play for Madrid," Pérez summarized, raising Endrick's hand in triumph. This signing marks another victory for Madrid, as numerous European clubs had coveted the striker. "With him, we continue our policy of securing the best players in the world and the brightest young stars," Pérez added.

Endrick, overwhelmed with emotion as his childhood dream came true, struggled to maintain composure. He hadn't even finished saying "good afternoon" when the entire stadium began chanting his name, causing him to break down. It was as if he was giving a farewell speech after a career full of titles. "I'm very happy because I've always been a Real Madrid fan since I was a child. And now I'm here..." he said, his voice breaking. "This is crazy. I don't have words to describe this. I've always wanted to be here. Thank you to everyone, and now let's chant together: 3, 2, 1, Hala Madrid!" he concluded.

After overcoming his initial nerves, Endrick kissed the crest and posed for photos with his family, girlfriend, and Florentino in front of the 15 European Cups, while the Bernabéu crowd continued to applaud.
