OL: Spain hails Endrick after his hat-trick

Endrick is absolutely on fire at OL. The player, on loan from Real Madrid, bagged a hat-trick this Sunday against FC Metz.

On Monday morning, the Spanish press couldn't stop praising Endrick's first steps in the Olympique Lyonnais shirt. Loaned by Real Madrid at the end of December until the end of the season, the Brazilian striker made a huge impression—so much so that he became a central talking point in the Spanish media after his standout performance in Metz (2-5) on Sunday in Ligue 1.

Marca is already talking about "Endrickmania" and describes the Brazilian as "limitless", capable of single-handedly turning a game on its head. The same excitement comes from AS, which called it a "dazzling performance" and hailed Endrick as a talent "France hasn't seen in a long time". On the show El Chiringuito, a pundit summed up the general feeling with a punchy line: "Endrick is tearing it up in France".

The Catalan press echoed the same sentiment. Mundo Deportivo highlighted a loan deal seen as beneficial for all parties, noting that the Auriverde has regained both confidence and consistency. Sport went even further, describing Endrick as a "man on fire" and the move as "perfect", illustrating the stark contrast between his limited minutes in Madrid and his immediate impact in Lyon.
