Real Madrid’s midfielder, Jude Bellingham, surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo’s record at Los Blancos on Sunday by scoring in their 3-0 La Liga victory over Cadiz.
Bellingham found the back of the net with 16 minutes remaining, marking a successful return to the league campaign for Real Madrid after the international break.
Since his £88.5m move from Borussia Dortmund to Carlo Ancelotti’s side in the summer, the English international has made an immediate impact, tallying 14 goals in 15 appearances for his team.

With his latest goal against Cadiz, Bellingham achieved a unique milestone, becoming the only player in Real Madrid’s history to score more than 13 goals in their first 15 games. Notably, Ronaldo, who made an £80m move from Manchester United in 2009, had scored 13 goals in his first 15 appearances in all competitions, a benchmark also reached by former players Alfredo Di Stefano in 1953 and Pruden in 1943.
Bellingham’s accomplishment places him ahead of other renowned former Real Madrid stars, including Ferenc Puskas (11 goals) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (9 goals).
