With this goal, Jude Bellingham has scored in his first 3 matches for Real Madrid in La Liga, equaling the record of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. These 2 players currently have 4 goals after 3 matches, however, Bellingham's record is a bit more impressive as he has contributed 1 more assist because his main playing position is midfielder.
Jude Bellingham's powerful header in the 81st minute brought victory to Real Madrid.

In Real Madrid's history, only Bellingham, Ronaldo and before that Wesley Sneijder scored in their first three games for Real Madrid.
Bellingham's achievements are likely to increase, as Real Madrid's goal-scoring responsibility is now placed on the English midfielder.
In the recent match against Celta Vigo, young striker Rodrygo was unable to show much with a missed penalty kick in the 68th minute. Meanwhile, another striker, Vinicius Junior, was even injured and forced to leave the field early, in the 18th minute.

When deciding to recruit Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, coach Carlo Ancelotti shared that he expected the English player to contribute much to Real Madrid's playing style in the way Benzema did before. However, perhaps even the Italian coach could not have expected that Bellingham would now shoulder the scoring responsibility that Benzema left at Real Madrid.
The season has only just begun, but Bellingham has shown that he has quickly integrated into his new team and if he can maintain this form, he promises to leave even more strong impressions at Real Madrid.
