This Wednesday (29), Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham broke another record. He became the first player to score in each of his first four Champions League appearances for Real.
The game was against Napoli and, in the 22nd minute, Bellingham headed in David Alaba’s cross to score and turn the game 2-1 for Los Blancos. It was the Englishman’s 15th goal in the 16 games he has played for the team.

As well as scoring, he provided the assist for Joselu’s fourth goal in added time, and Real maintained their perfect record in the Champions League this season with a 4-2 win. After the game, Real manager Carlo Ancelotti praised Bellingham’s performance. “He’s spectacular in getting into the box, he comes into the box like a motorbike”, said Ancelotti in an interview to Movistar Plus.
“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, team mates and even rivals”, added Ancelotti. Bellingham was transferred from Borussia Dortmund in a £88m deal in the summer. He is Real’s top scorer this season, with 15 goals in 16 games, and is also LALIGA’s top scorer in 2023/24.
