FANS are up in arms after Real Madrid star Endrick escaped a red card after appearing to knee an opponent in the worst place possible.

The wonderkid has made a big impact since arriving in the summer.

He became the youngest Real Madrid player to score in the Champions League with a rocket on his debut against Stuttgart.

Days later he won a controversial penalty in the last minute against Espanyol, falling in the corner of the box despite most of the contact being made before he entered the area.

Now fans have been left stunned once again after Endrick avoided a red card as Real beat Alaves.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were cruising 3-0 at the time of the incident and on the attack.

Endrick began to make a run into the box anticipating a cross and then had a coming together with Alaves defender Santiago Mourino.

The Brazilian appeared to kick out his left leg to make contact with Mourino's groin, and he was yellow-carded for the action.

But fans believe he should have been sent off with one saying: "That should've been a straight red, not just a yellow."

Another added: "Clearly a violent act."

How Kylian Mbappe’s incredible seven-year body transformation propelled skinny teen into world’s best player

By Etienne Fermie

KYLIAN MBAPPE has entered his physical prime as he has FINALLY rubber-stamped his free transfer move to Real Madrid.

The 25-year-old has grown from a boy to a man in Ligue 1, first with Monaco and then with current side Paris Saint-Germain.

Mbappe debuted for Monaco as a skinny 16-year-old in 2015.

He even featured as a scrawny youngster against Tottenham at the old White Hart Lane that year, before fans realised what an icon he would become.

The following season, Mbappe really rose to superstardom as Monaco reached the Champions League semi-finals.

In a throwback snap shared earlier this week, an 18-year-old Mbappe could be seen chatting to a reporter after grabbing a Champions League brace against Borussia Dortmund in April 2017.

And a third wrote: "I watched it and was shocked, that's a straight red."

Alaves manager Garcia Plaza fumed over the decision after the match, with his side pulling back two goals in a 3-2 defeat.

He said: "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 Endrick, it's a red."

Real Madrid will reportedly speak to Endrick about his behaviour to avoid a repeat of the incident in the future.
