Bellingham, who immediately impacted Santiago Bernabeu after his €103 million (£89m/$108m) summer transfer from Borussia Dortmund, has set La Liga ablaze.
In his first four appearances, he found the back of the net five times, a feat previously accomplished solely by the legendary Portuguese superstar, Ronaldo.
During Real Madrid’s latest clash against Girona, Bellingham showcased his prowess again, ensuring he now boasts six goals in the Spanish top flight from just seven games. This achievement perfectly aligns with Ronaldo’s debut campaign with Real in 2009-10, where the five-time Ballon d’Or winner managed the same tally. Remarkably, no player in the 21st century has outperformed this record for the club.
Looking ahead, Bellingham’s scoring spree is on par with some Real Madrid greats like Ruud van Nistelrooy, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, and the Brazilian legend Ronaldo, all of whom managed fewer goals in their initial seven games.
Bellingham’s goal-scoring prowess extends beyond La Liga; he has also found the net in the Champions League this season, accumulating seven goals in eight appearances across all competitions.
