'Clear red card' - Endrick kicks opponent in the groin during Real Madrid's victory over Alaves but escapes with a caution

<p>The young Brazil star was introduced for the final 20 minutes of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-alaves-kylian-mbappe-vinicius-rodrygo/blt949a1d9ee8a75e83" target="_blank">Real Madrid's 3-2 win against Alaves</a> in La Liga on Tuesday night. Endrick, 18, was involved in a clash with defender Santiago Mourino inside the penalty box, where the forward appeared to strike him in the groin with his knee. The referee opted to only give Endrick a yellow card, much to the fury of Alaves head coach Plaza.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking after the match, the Alaves boss said: "It's a red card. We should have played the last 10 minutes against 10 men. It's a clear red, nobody can say it wasn't. If the referee didn't see it, that's what the VAR is for. Maybe they got more yellows than they should have, but for for Endrick, it's a red."</p>

WHAT PLAZA SAID

<p>Unsurprisingly, Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti did not admit that his own player should have been sent off. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/endrick-carlo-ancelotti-real-madrid-wonderkid-odrygo-kylian-mbappe-vinicius/blt2a8f8caa6b221c45" target="_blank">Endrick</a> staying on the pitch helped Madrid get over the line and keep in touch with league leaders Barcelona, who have maintained their perfect start so far.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Real Madrid have a huge match against rivals Atletico Madrid on Sunday. A win would put some distance between the two teams and give Los Blancos another injection of confidence in their bid to retain the La Liga crown come May.</p>
