With about two weeks to go before Brazil’s national team squad is announced for the 2026 World Cup, Endrick has been showing at Lyon that he could be crucial in the hunt for a sixth title.
This Sunday (3), in fact, the 19-year-old striker gave coach Carlo Ancelotti even more to think about by finding the net again in Ligue 1.
After the 4-2 win, still on the sidelines at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Endrick spoke about his future after the World Cup, as he is playing for the French club on loan from Real Madrid.
"The truth is that I take it day by day. I'm very happy here (at Lyon). Good team, good teammates, I'm happy, but I don't know what will happen. Whatever God says, I'll do. If I stay, great. If I have to go back to Real Madrid, that's great too.
In the stadium mixed zone, the Brazilian striker again spoke about the possibility of playing in the Champions League with Lyon.
"I think the most important thing for Lyon is the Champions League. The job isn't finished. Lyon should never have been out of the Champions League. It's not over, and it's still going to be difficult — there are two games left, the league is tough, so we have to keep working.
I think that, thank God, coming to Lyon was one of the best decisions. I thank God for that because I came to a team that welcomed me, the coaching staff welcomed me, my teammates welcomed me, everyone… I'm very happy. God willing, I will go to the World Cup. I don't regret anything and all I can say is thank you."
