He also became the fourth player to score 10 goals in a major European Cup before turning 21.
Midfielder Reala Jude Bellingham continues to break all sorts of records. His goal scored yesterday Napoli (the Madrid club won at home with a score of 3:2), allowed the Englishman to set two new achievements at once.
Firstly, he became the first player in Blancos history to score in each of his first matches in the CEC/Champions League. Previously, he scored against Union in the first round, Napoli in the second and Braga in the third, and did not appear on the field in the fourth round against the Portuguese club.
Secondly, the 20-year-old England international became the fourth player in Champions League history (and the first non-forward) to reach the 10-goal mark before turning 21.
In the mentioned age range, Erling Haaland managed to score 20 goals, 19 – Kylian Mbappe and 12 – Karim Benzema. Considering that Jude will not turn 21 until June 2024, at least he will have time to surpass Karim’s achievement during the current season.
Let us remind you that Bellingham previously set another club record, scoring 14 goals in his first 15 matches for Real Madrid. The unstoppable Englishman now has 15 goals scored (as well as four assists) in 16 matches for Los Blancos.
Real won all five matches in the Champions League group stage and won their group early. In the Spanish Championship, the Madrid club is in the lead with 35 points after 14 rounds, ahead of Girona in additional indicators. Real Madrid will play at home against Granada this coming Saturday, December 2.
