Jude Bellingham made history on Sunday night as he broke a long-standing Real Madrid record set by none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Birmingham City academy graduate marked his return to the Madrid squad – following a shoulder injury – with a goal during their 3-0 win over Cadiz.
Bellingham was on hand, in the 74th minute, to smash the ball into the back of the net after some neat build-up play from Brazilian winger Rodrygo.
In doing so, the 20-year-old netted his 11th league goal, 14th in all competitions, since making his £113million move from Borussia Dortmund in summer.
While the England star will be thrilled with his emphatic start, he’ll be even more delighted when he realises the record which he broke on Sunday.
By scoring his 14th goal for Madrid, Bellingham surpassed football icon Ronaldo for the most goals scored in their opening 15 matches at the club.
The Al-Nassr forward had previously led the record-sheet with his 13 goals tying him with fellow club legend Alfredo Di Stefano.
