Jude Bellingham equals Cristiano Ronaldo record after scoring against Celta Vigo
New signing Jude Bellingham equals Cristiano Ronaldo record after scoring against Celta Vigo. The England international has now scored four goals in just three matches in La Liga.
Furthermore, Bellingham’s goalscoring streak has helped him match Cristiano Ronaldo’s feat of scoring four goals in his first three games in La Liga.
Ronaldo scored against Deportivo La Coruna and Espanyol and followed up with a brace against Xerez at the Santiago Bernabeu back in 2009 after moving from Manchester United.
However, Ronaldo went on to score in his fourth game as well against Villarreal at La Ceramica. So, it remains to be seen if Bellingham can match that. Los Blancos will face Getafe in a Madrid derby on September 2.
Jude Bellingham proving his worth after Real Madrid move
The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder has hit the ground running following his £103 million move.
The 20-year-old got off the mark for Madrid when he netted in the 2-0 win over Athletic Club on opening day. Moreover, he followed that impressive debut by bagging a brace in the 3-1 win at Almeria.
In game week 3, he scored the only goal to give Los Blancos the 3 points as they sit at the top of La Liga with three wins out of three games. After Vinicius Jr. got injured in the 15th minute against Celta, everyone thought Real wouldn’t win, but Bellingham stepped up and won the game for them.
Jude Bellingham equals Cristiano Ronaldo record as his remarkable start with Madrid continues
Real Madrid lost their star striker Karim Benzema this summer, as he joined Al Ittihad. Moreover, Kylian Mbappe’s saga with PSG seems never ending. So, Carlo Ancelotti decided to start his star midfielder in a ‘False 9’ role with Vinicius and Rodrygo as wingers.
Ancelotti’s statement about replacing Karim Benzema: “We believe that the arrival of Bellingham covers the absence of Karim.
“He is a serious, mature boy with a lot of quality. What he is doing is not surprising to those of us who know him, what is surprising is that he is only 20 years old.”
