Jude Bellingham continues to break and set monstrous records at Real Madrid, with the latest happening on November 29, 2023.

Bellingham became the first player to score in every of his first 4 UEFA Champions League matches for the Madrid-based club.

He set this record after penning his name on the score sheet in Real Madrid's 4-2 win over Napoli on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.

Jude Bellingham scored the 2nd goal for Carlo Ancelotti's side in their comfortable win over Napoli, leaping to nod home a cross delivered into the box by David Alaba.


The goal is the 15th for Bellingham in 16 appearances for Real Madrid, and the Englishman doesn't look like he is stopping anytime soon.

Jude Bellingham joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund on July 1, 2023, for a fee of €103 million.

Bellingham also broke a personal record during the game, as he has bettered his 14 goals tally last season for Borussia Dortmund.

The midfielder has shown over time that he has the ability to put the ball into the back of the net, and he has done so on many occasions this campaign.

He is the current top scorer for Real Madrid in the 2023/24 season, with 15 goals and 4 assists in 16 appearances.

Speaking with Movistar Plus on Jude Bellingham's goal-scoring prowess, manager Carlo Ancelotti said: "He's spectacular in getting into the box, he comes into the box like a motorbike.

"It's surprising because nobody could have imagined such a fast adaptation here, to this club and the football he is showing. He surprises the fans, teammates, and even rivals.”

The England international also broke the record for the most goals scored in a player's first 15 matches at Real Madrid.

The previous record held by greats like Cristiano Ronaldo, Alfredo Di Stefano, and Pruden Sanchez stood at 13 goals in 15 matches, but Bellingham's goal against Cadiz in Los Blancos 3-0 win on November 26, 2023, smashed that record, as it extended his then tally to 14 from 15 matches.

Jude Bellingham has had a staggering impact at Real Madrid, and despite being a midfielder, he is currently the top goals scorer of the La Liga with 11 goals in 12 matches.

It is difficult to tell if he will continue at this rate till the end of the season or not, but one thing is certain, and it is that he has been menacing thus far at the Spanish club.

The 20-year-old has settled in nicely, and he was handed the Golden Boy Award in October 2023, for his brilliance in the 2022/23 season.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid face Union Berlin in their final group game of the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League season on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.

They had secured progression to the next round as Group C winners after Matchday 4, and just like every campaign, Los Blancos are tipped as one of the favorites to win the tournament.

Carlo Ancelotti's side return to action on Saturday, December 2, 2023, welcoming Granada to the Santiago Bernabeu, in a Matchday 15 La Liga action.
