Real Madrid starlet, Jude Bellingham has just produced one of the best passes of the season. Fans on social media labeled it as the ‘assist of the season’ as he found Joselu with the outer of his right foot in a physics-defying pass.
This helped Real Madrid cruise to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Girona and clinch the top spot of the La Liga. Girona had been on top earlier, surprising the Spanish fans with their excellent form to spark the season.
However, the win proved massive for Madrid as they stole the first position for the time being from defending champions and arch-nemesis FC Barcelona. Bellingham has been on fire for the Los Blancos ever since he joined. “I have been watching Luka Modric,” he said in response to his growing passing abilities.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t find the net in his last two outings, but he keeps creating chances. This helped his team continuously terrorize the defenses and eventually break through with goals. Bellingham credited his growing abilities in passing to Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric being an idol. As the Englishman continues to learn from the best, the sky is the limit for his potential.
Jude Bellingham matches Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for Real Madrid
Jude Bellingham has equaled Cristiano Ronaldo’s 14-year-old record with his goal against Girona in Real MAdrid’s 3-0 victory on September 30. After providing a breathtaking assist in the first half of the game for striker Joselu, Bellingham finally got on the scoresheet in the 71st minute.
With a magnificent volley, he scored his seventh goal in all competitions for the club, showcasing and justifying his hefty £115million price tag. In their opening campaign, he became the first Real Madrid player after Ronaldo in the 21st century to find the back of the net seven times.
Even legends like Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, and Ronaldo Nazario found the net only three times in their first seven appearances. This showcases the unreal potential of the youngster, as he has already surpassed some of the all-time greats and looks to develop continuously.
