Not only will the result of the match between San Lorenzo and Palmeiras determine the Copa Libertadores group standings, but it will also serve as Endrick’s formal farewell to the Brazilian national team. This is why the cheering supporters presented the 17-year-old forward with a unique flag when he came out onto the field; he was overcome with emotion.

The cameras immediately aired the fan-hung flag from one of the stands as the teams stepped onto the field. As Endrick celebrated, the Palmeiras shield trailed after him. During the first formation, the forward—who will continue his career at Real Madrid—could not control his emotions and burst into tears.

“See you later,” read the special mosaic that the supporters also made to bid farewell to their hero, who will be leaving for Real Madrid for his European adventure following the Copa América.

From leaving Palmeiras to the Copa América to Real Madrid, Endrick has it all.Once Endrick’s run with Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores group stage comes to a close, he’ll have to pack his bags and get ready to fly to the US to play in the Copa América for Brazil.

The forward will join his fellow countrymen Vinícius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, and Éeder Militao in Spain for the preseason with Real Madrid after the continental championship concludes. There, the footballer, who has already proven himself to be Brazil’s biggest football revelation, is anticipated to make the big leap and improve upon his previous performances for his country.
