When Cristiano Ronaldo left Europe for Al Nassr, he left more than his legacy. The Portuguese superstar also left behind a challenge for the stars remaining in Europe to fill his formidable shoes. But even after being in a foreign league, his records aren’t being surpassed. This became all too evident when a $111 million superstar found his hype train derailed by the unyielding presence of CR7’s 14-year-old record.

Despite an emphatic debut, this million-dollar-rated star couldn’t sustain the momentum of his hype.

Cristiano Ronaldo overshadows $111 million star’s hype with his 14-year-old record

Jude Bellingham has proved to be a jackpot signing for Real Madrid this summer. While the Los Blancos brought him to don the center half of the pitch, the former Dortmund star is unexpectedly finding back at the net. In fact, he’s already notched up 8 goals which has been drawing him comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo. Remarkably, the CR7’s debut with the White club back in 2009 was equally spectacular.

However, it’s worth noting that the Portuguese star outperformed Jude Bellingham in this regard. In the 9 matches since his arrival, Bellingham has scored 8 goals. On the other hand, CR7 managed to do even better. The striker scored a total of 9 goals in the same number of matches during his debut season.

This has certainly derailed Bellingham’s mania, given that Madrid’s No. 5 has started off well. Subsequently, it’s also impressive for Bellingham to even dare chasing such a record, given he is a natural midfielder.

While he may have missed out on Ronaldo’s 14-year-old record, the latter managed to enter Kylian Mbappe’s territory, something that neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi could do.

So far, Bellingham has been a bigger helping hand than any other Madrid player. Recently during his side’s Champions League game against Napoli, aside from assisting the first goal in Madrid’s during their 4-2 win, he also managed to find back at the net. Following this strike, the midfielder managed to achieve a special feat.

Reportedly, he notched his 8th Champions League goal with his strike against Napoli, a milestone attained by only a handful of players before turning 21. This exclusive circle includes the likes of Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema, and Patrick Kluivert. Undoubtedly, finding himself among these exceptional talents underscores his remarkable potential and skill.
