With a record-breaking career at famed Brazilian club Palmeiras, the Brazilian national team and now European giants Real Madrid already to his name at the age of just 18, it's safe to say that Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa is of Brazil's brightest – and most famous – footballing talents.

The native of Taguatinga, a suburb of national capital Brasilia, Endrick's childhood was not an easy one, marked by extreme poverty, but his footballing talent shone from an early age and he vowed to turn pro to help his family. He started playing football aged four, with his father publishing his goals on YouTube to attract the big Brazilian clubs.
