Sports Desk, 3rd September: Real Madrid’s latest Galactico, England midfielder Jude Bellingham, has made an electrifying start to his career with the club, matching a long-standing record held by Cristiano Ronaldo with his dramatic last-minute winner against Getafe.
Bellingham’s lightning-fast instincts and reaction time allowed him to seize an opportunity in the dying moments of the game, propelling Los Blancos to victory and maintaining their perfect start to the new La Liga season.
With this crucial goal, Bellingham has now netted five times in his first four La Liga matches, a remarkable feat that had previously only been achieved by Cristiano Ronaldo after his iconic transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009.
Jude Bellingham’s scoring spree includes goals against Athletic Bilbao, Celta Vigo, Getafe, and a stunning brace away at Almeria. Comparatively, around 15 years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo scored against Villareal, Espanol, Deportivo la Coruna, and netted twice against Xerez.
Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, expressed his lack of surprise during the post-match press conference, noting that Bellingham’s impressive performances in Spain come as no shock since his arrival, cementing the young Englishman’s place as a rising star in the world of football.
