JUDE BELLINGHAM has become the first player since Cristiano Ronaldo to score in his first 3 La Liga games for Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old joined the Spanish giants with a record £115m from Borussia Dortmund in June.
He made his league debut earlier this month and scored in a 2-0 win over Athletic Club.
Bellingham then maintained his impressive form in Real Madrid’s second La Liga match of the season last week when he scored twice against Almeria.
And he scored the winning goal in the club’s clash against Celta Vigo on Friday in impressive fashion.
The header in the 81st minute allowed him to equal Ronaldo’s total of 4 goals in his first 3 La Liga matches.
And enthusiasts drew comparisons between the two superstars.
One tweeted: “Two generational talents. “
Another added: “Cristiano has fixed and Bellingham follows. “
