Real Madrid’s Bellingham Matches Ronaldo’s Record with Stunning La Liga Performance

Despite the scrutiny surrounding Real Madrid’s form following their loss to Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium, Carlo Ancelotti’s team reclaimed the La Liga summit with a commanding 3-0 victory over Girona. Barcelona trails by just one point in second place.

Jude Bellingham continues his remarkable debut season at Real Madrid, showing no signs of slowing down as he contributed a crucial goal in the 3-0 win against Girona. The 20-year-old midfielder also delivered a brilliant assist that set up Joselu for the opening goal.

Bellingham now leads the La Liga scoring charts with six goals to his name, surpassing renowned strikers such as Robert Lewandowski, Alvaro Morata, and former Real Madrid player Takefusa Kubo, who have all netted five times this season.

The Englishman has notched up a total of seven goals across all competitions, with six coming in La Liga. Remarkably, this achievement matches a record set by Cristiano Ronaldo 14 years ago.

A Real Madrid player equals Ronaldo’s record
Ronaldo also scored six goals in his initial seven La Liga appearances for Real Madrid, a feat now matched by Bellingham.

According to talkSPORT, no other Real Madrid player in the 21st century has accomplished this by scoring six goals in their first seven league appearances. Icons like Ruud van Nistelrooy managed four goals in the same span, while Brazilian legend Ronaldo, along with Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema, achieved three.

Bellingham’s ability to achieve this milestone as a midfielder underscores his rapid adaptation to life in Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti’s preference for deploying him in an advanced and free role within his 4-4-2 diamond formation has proven beneficial for both the club and the player, as Real Madrid currently leads La Liga by a single point over Barcelona.
