In Real Madrid’s recent Champions League game against Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Jude Bellingham was the star of the show. He not only assisted in Real Madrid’s opening goal with a breathtaking steal in the final third but also showcased his individual brilliance by embarking on a scintillating solo run from the halfway line to score the second goal for the Spanish giants.
However, there’s one jaw-dropping revelation that sets Jude Bellingham apart and elevates him. According to reports, Bellingham has already scored eight goals in the UEFA Champions League, a feat that only a select few have achieved before their 21st birthday. Among this elite group are Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema, and Patrick Kluivert.

Bellingham’s inclusion in this list speaks volumes about his extraordinary potential and talent. His name now sits alongside the likes of Haaland and Mbappé, two of the brightest young stars in the sport. By entering the territory of the Norwegian and Frenchman, he has proved his commitment to the sport. This is a territory that even Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi couldn’t claim during their early careers.
Bellingham’s performances in La Liga have also been highly beneficial for Los Blancos. He has been just as impressive in the domestic league as he has been in the Champions League this season. Having scored 6 goals in 7 games for the Galacticos in La Liga, the 20-year-old is now challenging Real Madrid legend and Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo as well.
Bellingham’s performances compared with Real Madrid legend
Jude Bellingham’s debut season with Real Madrid seems a lot like Cristiano Ronaldo’s first season with Madrid, back in 2009-10. In a striking stat that has been revealed, Bellingham has now matched Ronaldo’s start at Real Madrid. The Portuguese sensation also scored 6 goals in his first 7 games for the club, which the Englishman has also achieved in his primary spell.
No player has boasted a better goal-scoring record for the club in the 21st century. Bellingham’s remarkable consistency and ability to shine on the biggest stages have left fans and pundits alike in awe.
It is still too early to say whether Bellingham will reach the heights of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but he is certainly on the right track. He has all the attributes to be a world-class player, and he is already performing at a very high level.
