His scoring records have surprised everyone in Chamartín and the English international lives up to myths like Alfredo Di Stefano or Cristiano Ronaldo. LaLiga Pichichi, the First Division bets They trust that he will fight until the end for the individual award and the meringues also lead the predictions in the championship.

Bellingham, a higher scoring start than CR7

Not even the best expectations would have imagined such a start to the campaign for Jude Bellingham. The ‘5’ has achieved 15 goals in his first 16 games, numbers higher than those of Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Stefano, Pruden, Puskas, Raúl González or Hugo Sánchez.

The ‘5’ triples Benzema’s records

Karim Benzema decided to put an end to his time as a white footballer and after a year marked by injuries, the Frenchman signed for the Al-Ittihad of the Saudi League. In this way, the ‘9’ was left empty, and in its place the merengue team decided to incorporate only Joselu Matocoming from Spanish.

Everything seemed to indicate that Benzema’s scoring numbers would be difficult to replace, but the truth is that an unexpected protagonist like Jude Bellingham has appeared to shine brightly and become the top scorer of this course so far. The Frenchman scored five goals in his first 15 games, while Bellingham scored 14 (one more if we count the one he scored against Naples). And he’s only 20 years old…

A unique record

Real Madrid faced the European duel against Naples with the certainty that a victory would put them first in the group.

The ‘5’ has become the first player in Real Madrid history to score in his first four games of the best club competition in the world.
