The formidable career of Cristiano Ronaldo in soccer has captivated fans around the world for almost two decades. His unparalleled talent and numerous records have solidified his place as one of the greatest players of all time. However, as with any sport, records are meant to be broken, and a young star is poised to challenge one of Ronaldo’s long-standing achievements.

Ronaldo recently traveled to Buraydah, Saudi Arabia for Al Nassr‘s fifth game in the Saudi Pro League. In the match, Al-Nassr emerged victorious in a 5-1 win against Al-Hazm, with the Portuguese icon playing his magic on the field, contributing with two impressive assists and one goal. But just a few hours earlier, halfway across the world in Spain, a young talent by the name of Jude Bellingham had closed in on Ronaldo’s prestigious record.

Real Madrid’s 20-year-old star has equalized Cristiano Ronaldo’s record

Representing Real Madrid, Bellingham has emerged as an unstoppable force ever since joining the club after his successful stint with Borussia Dortmund. The Englishman’s talent was undeniable, prompting Madrid to shell out a staggering $111 million to secure his services. The 20-year-old has already begun proving his worth on the pitch, most notably in the recent clash against Getafe.

In that game, Bellingham not only scored a crucial goal but also displayed nerves of steel by finding the back of the net in the fifth minute of stoppage time. This spectacular goal sealed victory for Real Madrid, concluding the match with a scoreline of 2-1 in their favor. This goal also marked his fourth consecutive match with a goal, thereby equaling a record set by Ronaldo himself.
