Real Madrid will take an advance of 1-0 second in their semi-final of Copa del Rey with Real Sociedad thanks to their teenage prodigy, Endrick.
The 18 -year -old Brazilian struck in the 19th minute to give Los Blancos a thin advantage in the return match to the Bernabeu on April 1.
But they did it without the services of Kylian Mbappe in shape after the Frenchman suffered from pain during the night after the elimination of a tooth.
Carlo Ancelotti had initially confirmed that Mbappe would be in the running for the match despite the missing training due to the procedure, but he was then omitted from the team before kick -off.
Thibaut Courtois and Fede Valverde also missed, but we think they were both rested.
