The 20-year-old midfielder has made a remarkable impact in the Spanish capital since his £103 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund. Bellingham secured a 1-0 victory for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo with his decisive goal.

Real Madrid faced difficulties during the match, losing Vinicius Junior to injury. They entered the final ten minutes without having broken the deadlock. However, Bellingham came to the rescue, scoring his fourth goal for the club with an 81st-minute header. This achievement makes him the first Real Madrid player, since Cristiano Ronaldo, to score in his first three appearances for the club.

Bellingham’s scoring journey at Real Madrid began when he netted in their 2-0 opening day win over Athletic Club. He followed this impressive debut with a brace in the 3-1 victory at Almeria.

The English midfielder’s ability to contribute in the final third has convinced manager Carlo Ancelotti that they do not need an immediate replacement for Karim Benzema. Ancelotti stated before Bellingham’s latest goal that they believe his arrival covers the absence of Karim.

Toni Kroos, a fellow Real Madrid midfielder, also praised Bellingham’s maturity and footballing prowess. Kroos noted that Bellingham has integrated well into the team in a short time and appreciates his footballing intelligence. Kroos emphasized Bellingham’s mature decision-making on the pitch and described him as an asset to the team despite his young age.

Bellingham’s impact at Real Madrid has been impressive, drawing comparisons to the early success of Cristiano Ronaldo during his time at the club.
