Real Madrid’s new star signing Jude Bellingham has already beaten former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Eden Hazard’s record in his first four games for the club. The English midfielder has been quite pivotal for his new club already in the early stages of the season.
The former Borussia Dortmund star joined the club this summer on a mega-money deal just like the Belgian attacker did back in 2019. Hazard moved to the Santiago Bernabeu from the Stamford Bridge on a move worth $129.9 million. Bellingham has moved to the Spanish Giants on a transfer worth $111 million.
In just the first three games of La Liga, the English midfielder has already scored four goals for the club. This has unfortunately been the total tally of goals the former Chelsea man scored during his four-year stay in the league. Although the attacker faced a lot of injuries and saw himself out of a lot of game time.

The 21-year-old midfielder was quite successful during his time in Germany. He represented his former club in 132 matches, scoring almost 24 goals and having 25 assists as well.
Real Madrid has a big dream of huge things to come from the player, as they have seen his true potential and agreed to invest in him. Manager Carlo Ancelotti would hope that he plays the rest of the season in the same explosive manner in which he has started it.
Jude Bellingham matches Cristiano Ronaldo’s record after scoring against Celta Vigo
English midfielder Jude Bellingham has matched Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of scoring four goals in the first three games for Real Madrid. This was after Bellingham scored the only goal of the match against Celta Vigo.
Ronaldo scored his first four goals against Deportivo de La Coruña, Espanyol, and a brace against Xerez after his move from the Premier League giants Manchester United in 2009. Bellingham has also been on the same goal-laden road. He has so far scored one against Athletic Club, a brace against Almeria, and the latest goal against Celta Vigo.
The midfielder’s excellent form must have relieved the fans and the manager. Especially with the recent injury of Vinicius Jr. The player is set to be out for at least the next couple of games. Bellingham being on form would actually help the team going forward in the season, even with Vini Jr. in the next few games.

As per records, CR7 went on to score in his fourth game against Villareal. It is to be seen if Bellingham can continue the record or if Ronaldo’s record will be intact once again in the end.
