Olympique Lyon witnesses a remarkable emergence of the young Brazilian star Endrick, who has become one of the most prominent football phenomena in Europe this season, despite his young age of 19 and limited experience, according to a report by the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo'.

The player has proven his significant impact since the first matches, scoring goals and providing decisive passes in the French classic against Marseille, despite the loss, a performance not seen in France at the beginnings of both Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.

During his first six matches in the French league, Endrick scored three goals and provided three decisive passes, making six direct contributions to goals, in addition to two goals and an assist in two matches in the French Cup. In comparison, Mbappe took five rounds to score his first goal with Monaco and made five contributions in his first six matches with Paris Saint-Germain, while Messi scored his first goal in the French league in the sixth round.

Endrick's outstanding performance stands out compared to the beginnings of Messi and Mbappe, as he became the second-best start for a young player in the last five seasons in the French league after Mika Bierith, who scored seven goals and one assist with Monaco after the winter market of the 2024/2025 season.

However, Endrick's biggest role model remains Neymar, who scored six goals and provided five assists in his first six matches with Paris Saint-Germain, a benchmark the young Brazilian aims for to become the most successful winter signing in the French league.

The same report indicates Endrick's superiority in the 2026 season, as he participated in six goals during the first two months of the year, surpassing most of the league's players except for Ousmane Dembele and Ludovic Ajorque with eight goals each, while neither Bamba Dieng nor Martial Godot reached Endrick's level of impact in the French league.
