La Liga players are enjoying a rare breather in the calendar as they enjoy a Christmas break before returning to work next week. However, the festive period was unfortunately struck by tragedy for one of Real Madrid's stars.
According to RMC Sport, Endrick Felipe's brother-in-law was shot dead in a bar on the outskirts of Brasilia. Mauricio Nunes Goncalves, 38, who was married to Endrick's older sister Lavinia Sudre, was killed for no apparent reason on December 25, with the funeral taking place the next day. The police are investigating the incident, but the motive is not yet clear.
Endrick himself, 18, does not appear to be in Brazil at the moment, based on his social media posts. On Christmas Day, he posted photos with his wife Gabriely Miranda in the Spanish capital, which he has called home since July. Los Blancos return to training next week as they prepare to face Valencia on January 3.
