Real Madrid loanee Endrick scored his first career hat trick in Lyon's 5-2 Ligue 1 victory over Metz. The 19-year-old Brazilian forward, who moved on loan from Real Madrid after limited playing time, now has four goals and an assist in just three games for the French club.

The hat trick vindicates Endrick's mid-season decision to leave LaLiga for France, a move he discussed with Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti. He praised Ligue 1's physicality and Lyon's environment, stating the hat trick was an "incredible day" and affirming his choice was not a mistake.

Lyon's win marks their eighth consecutive triumph in all competitions, lifting them to fourth in the Ligue 1 table, nine points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain. For Endrick, the performance is a personal milestone and a sign he's finding his rhythm ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
