Jude Bellingham congratulated his future Real Madrid teammate Endrick with a lighthearted slap on the cheek after the teenager’s goal sealed victory for Brazil over England.
The 17-year-old striker was brought in as a substitute in the second half after 71 minutes and quickly made an impact on the game.
With 10 minutes left on the clock, the teenage star sprinted to a rebound after Jordan Pickford blocked Vinicius Jr to score into an empty net.
Endrick could have scored a second goal deep in injury time as Brazil seized on the counter attack but was stopped by Pickford on that occasion.
By scoring his first goal for his country at Wembley, he becomes the youngest male player to score at Wembley.
Real Madrid outbid several European clubs to arrange a deal to sign Endrick in December 2022. Currently at Palmeiras, he will join Los Blancos this summer when he turns 18.
In the Spanish capital, he will form a strong attack alongside countrymen Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo with Bellingham also part of the team.
The England midfielder, who was replaced midway through the second half, approached Endrick during Brazil’s post-match celebrations, giving the youngster a lighthearted slap on the face before they shared a warm embrace.
Endrick dropped to his knees as the final whistle blew in the capital as he celebrated scoring the first of what is expected to be many in Brazil colors.
‘I was just thinking about that (the goal), I couldn’t think about the game anymore, it even hurt me a little,’ Endrick said after the match.
‘It’s a special memory. My family is here, my girlfriend, my managers. I’m not much of a crier, I’m holding back, but it’s something unique and I’m very happy.’
Brazil return to friendly action next week against Spain as they continue their preparations for their Copa America campaign this summer.
England meanwhile host Belgium on Tuesday night.
