He real Madrid They beat Napoli with a score of 4-2 on matchday five of the Champions League. The meringues came back and secured the first position in their group at the Santiago Bernabéu with Jude Bellingham who does not stop breaking records dressed in merengue.

According to BeSoccer Pro data for EFE, Jude Bellingham is the first Real Madrid player to score in his first four Champions League games. Something that legends of the stature of Cristiano Ronaldo, nor Santillana, nor Raúl had not achieved.

Although CR7 scored six goals in his first four games, he did not score in the third. A double against Zurich and two against Olympique de Marseille was his scoring record. However, Jude Bellingham showed that it is possible to score in his first four appearances dressed in the shirt of the glorious merengue team.

Jude Bellingham’s scoring career with Real Madrid

Reports of EFE indicate that Bellingham arrived at the Santiago Bernabéu smiling today. A mural of his iconic celebration in Naples with Vinícius reminded him of the joy of that moment, as well as the other 14 in which he has celebrated a goal since he arrived at Real Madrid.

Jude Bellingham has 15 goals dressed in the colors of Real Madrid. His numbers are the highest records he has obtained in his still short sports career. As if that were not enough, English only needed so far 16 games to reach those 15 goals. English records promise to continue rising in a story that is just beginning.

Bellingham’s scoring emergence has largely to do with the figure of a Carlo Ancelotti who recovered the ’10’ position at Real Madrid as soon as he saw the qualities that the young English footballer had.

In addition to Bellingham’s goal, Real Madrid completed their goals thanks to Rodrygo, youth squad Nico Paz and Joselu, who also forgave in front of goal on different occasions. This is how Real Madrid, with one day remaining, guarantees first position in the group.

Those led by Carlo Ancelotti add 15 points with one day remaining. So far a perfect step over Napoli that has seven points and Sporting Braga that with four still has a minimum of hope for the final day.
