Jude Bellingham has broken this record held by Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham arrived at Real Madrid with high expectations, and the Englishman has lived up to them admirably. On June 14, 2023, he signed for Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund for a base transfer cost of 103 million euros, which could climb to 133.9 million euros owing to add-ons.

He claimed that he was given the number five jersey in honor of club star Zinedine Zidane. Birmingham City additionally received 6 million pounds from the transfer due to their sell-on clause.

Since his arrival, it appears that he can’t stop scoring and has won his third consecutive La Liga player of the match honor. He has now matched Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of four goals in his first three La Liga outings.

After joining from Manchester United in 2009, the Portugal forward scored against Deportivo La Coruna, Espanyol, and then followed it up with a brace against Xerez in a home encounter.

This season, the 20-year-old has scored four of Real Madrid’s six goals. His presence has been invaluable to the team, particularly after Vinicius Jr. was hurt against Celta Vigo. He is also the first midfielder to score four goals in his first three La Liga games since Cesc Fabregas in 2011.

“Bellingham is doing very well, he keeps scoring and contributing to the team. Vinicius had a niggle in the first half and we changed him. We’ll see what it is in the next few hours, it looks like some discomfort in the muscle in his leg.” said Carlo Ancelotti during the post match interview.

“Goals aren’t his biggest quality but he’s doing well. He is good off the ball, he’s intelligent and his timing is good. He’s got a lot of ability on the edge of the area” he added.

On Saturday, Real Madrid will host Getafe in a La Liga match at the Santiago Bernabeu. All eyes will be on Bellingham, who will try to score in his fourth game, as Ronaldo did against Villarreal.
