Real Madrid got their Champions League title defence off to a good start, as they defeated Stuttgart 3-1 on Tuesday. It wasn�t straightforward, as two late goals from Antonio Rudiger and Endrick Felipe were needed for the victory to be assured.

Endrick�s goal was a fine 25-yard strike, which drew the plaudits of many associated with Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti also credited the 18-year-old with having the courage to shoot from that position, rather than passing to a nearby teammate � quotes via Diario AS.

�He has balls, because it was a counterattack and he had the courage to shoot.�

Ancelotti also provided his assessment on the 90 minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu.

�It was good. We�ve had difficult moments, but it�s normal. I don�t remember an easy match. You always have to suffer, especially at the beginning, when you don�t have your best version and things cost a little more. The game could have been over after the equaliser, but we had the strength to score again.�
