Phenomenal Bellingham. Real Madrid’s expensive signing equals Cristiano Ronaldo and breaks record

After three rounds of the new La Liga season, Real Madrid remain 100%. However, they owe it to one man in particular. Expensive signing Jude Bellingham has made a fantastic start in Spain and is breaking records.

Three games, three wins, four goals, one assist. That is the fabulous record so far of the man who arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu during the summer for more than €100 million from Borussia Dortmund.

Already in Germany, Jude Bellinghem has shown in every game that he is a fantastic footballer with enormous potential. But at Real Madrid he seems to be exceeding all expectations as he is the main driving force of his new team.

Footballing qualities, great character, a leader. He recently celebrated his 20th birthday, which makes it all the more incredible how Bellingham is currently performing. His stats have now equalled, for example, Cristiano Ronaldo, who also scored in his first three games in 2009.

Apart from Ronaldo and Bellingham, only Wesley Sneijder, who became a legend especially at Inter Milan, has managed to do that in Real Madrid’s history.

In addition, Bellingham became the youngest footballer in the 21st century to score in three consecutive league games for Real Madrid thanks to his goal against Celta Vigo on Friday. He did it at the age of 20 years and 57 days.

To make matters worse, there is much talk on social media that in just three games, Bellingham has scored the same number of goals as Eden Hazard did in his entire time at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The English midfielder is now the top scorer in the top Spanish league, but that could of course change over the weekend. However, it will require one of his chasers to score three times in their match.
