Jude Bellingham continues to break records at Real Madrid and outside the white club. Against Osasuna, the Englishman scored the first two goals of the game, which raises his scoring numbers in the League up to 8 goals and places him as the competition’s top scorer by above the 5 that Morata, Lewandowski and Kubo have. The Englishman has already equaled his best scoring record in the league. Last season he finished the Bundesliga with eight goals in 31 games played, while now he has scored eight in his first eight games.
“No one expected this level”
Carlo Ancelotti once again praised the star’s “maturity” at a press conference. “He often makes us forget that he is only 20 years old and learns very quickly. He always has his feet on the ground and is a very professional player. Jude is finding a lot of possibilities in attack because he is very involved in the game and because he does not have a position fixed on the field. That gives him an advantage, he comes very well from the second line and combines well with his teammates. He has made a surprising start to the League. “Nobody expected this level and his number of goals.”
The Osasunista coach, Jagoba Arrasate, went further when talking about Bellingham: “He is a super complete and very young player. He not only scores, he also assists and continues to grow in all aspects. I don’t know where its roof is. “It’s going to mark an era.”
Above Cristiano
Bellingham, with these two goals, completes his first ten games as a Real Madrid player with some dazzling numbers: 10 goals and 3 assists. That makes it the best debut of a player for the white club since Alfredo Di Stéfanowho added 11 goals and 7 assists in his first ten games as a merengue player.
But he does surpass the last great world star who has dressed in white, Cristiano Ronaldo, because he has scored eight goals in his first eight days of the League, compared to seven for the Portuguese. None of the latest big signings, including galacticos like Ronaldo or Bale have accumulated such records. The Portuguese, for example, added 10 goals and 1 assist, the Welshman 4 goals and 5 assists, Benzema was left with 3 and 3 and Hazard scored a solitary goal and two assists.
Kubala, Puskas, Cruyff…
Furthermore, as Mister Chip recalled on his networks, Bellingham joins the exclusive club of players who scored eight or more goals in their first eight league games. in which appear Kubala (Barça), Sócrates (Valencia), Di Stéfano (Madrid), Wilkes (Valencia), Puskas (Madrid), Cruyff (Barça), Romario (Barça), Ronaldo (Barça), Vieri (Atlético), Lewandowski (Barça) and now the Englishman.
The Madrid player has scored 8 goals in the first 9 games of La Liga, although he only participated in eight, prohibitive figures for a player who is not a striker. Because English is a midfielder with arrival. And the last midfielder to achieve a similar record in La Liga was Enrique Buqué, a Valencia player in the 1956-57 season.
El ritual de Bellingham
“Bellingham also revealed his ritual before games.”Before games I like to walk around the Bernabéu grass, see what my positions are going to be on the pitch… It’s something I was taught as a child and I’ve been doing my entire career. It helps me not to be nervous.”

Bellingham’s performance since arriving in Madrid has been so dazzling that a goal specialist like Erling Haalandhis former Borussia Dortmund teammate, reacted on his networks after the Englishman’s double against Osasuna: “Unreal.” Many Real Madrid fans will agree with the Manchester City annihilator.
