Bayern Munich prodigy fires warning to Real Madrid – ‘We feel unbeatable’
On a day when Real Madrid fell to a dismal 2-1 loss to RCD Mallorca in La Liga, their next opponents, Bayern Munich, pulled off a brilliant comeback 3-2 win over SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga.
The German champions travel to Spain next week as they take on Los Blancos in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. And, they warmed up for the game with a sensational comeback win at Freiburg.
Trailing 2-0, Bayern found the back of the net through young Tom Bischof in the 81st minute, before he made it 2-2 two minutes into stoppage time.
The stage was then set for young Lennart Karl to clinch the victory for the Bavarians in dramatic fashion nine minutes into stoppage time.
Lennart Karl warns Real Madrid
Speaking to the media after the game, Karl fired warning shots towards Real Madrid, claiming that the confidence and morale in the Bayern Munich camp was sky-high.
“We’ve talked in the locker room about how this victory gives us a lot of confidence for the game in Madrid,” the 18-year-old prodigy said, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.
Going a step further, the German teenager insisted that Bayern were feeling ‘unbeatable’ after the comeback win against Freiburg.
“It’s very important to have won. In fact, right now we feel unbeatable,” he stated.
Real Madrid will most certainly have their task cut out when they take on Vincent Kompany’s men on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.
Bayern Munich have been brilliant so far this season and have the ability to tear through this Real Madrid team if Alvaro Arbeloa’s team play the way they did today against Mallorca.
Real Madrid youngster Endrick continues to attract interest from several clubs ahead of another potential loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
The latest side considering a move for the Brazilian forward is Aston Villa.
Indeed, according to reports relayed by Bernabeu Digital, the Premier League club are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker on loan in January.
No minutes for Endrick
Endrick has had very limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season. Across Real Madrid’s nine matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the Brazilian has played just four minutes, coming on in the 86th minute against Elche.
Such limited playing time has left the young forward struggling to gain the minutes and experience needed to develop his talent at Real Madrid.
As such, another loan move, like last January when he left for Olympique Lyon, could offer him a chance to play more regularly and continue his progression.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, have now emerged as an interested party to acquire the Brazilian international’s services on loan for the second half of the season.
AC Milan also interested in Endrick
Howver, Aston Villa are not the only club monitoring Endrick’s situation. AC Milan have also renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.
The Rossoneri already held an interest in the 20-year-old forward during the summer transfer window and are knocking on the doors once again now.
In fact, some reports in Italy even go on to suggest that the youngster is ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign for the Serie A giants.
For now, however, there have been no concrete developments or formal approaches from any interested club.
Real Madrid are understood to be open to allowing Endrick to leave on loan, but they are not considering a permanent sale as they still have a lot of faith in the promising attacker whom they signed from Palmeiras.
With Aston Villa and AC Milan both interested, the coming months could prove important in determining where the young Brazilian will continue his development.
