Jude Bellingham made history on Sunday night when 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 side – after a shoulder injury – with a goal during their 3-0 win over Cadiz.
Bellingham was there in the 74th minute to hit the ball into the back of the net after some neat build-up play from Brazilian winger Rodrygo.
The 20-year-old scored his eleventh league goal, fourteenth in all competitions, since joining from Borussia Dortmund for £113 million in the summer.
While the England star will be delighted with his emphatic start, he will be even more delighted when he realizes the record he broke on Sunday.

In doing so, Bellingham claimed Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for most goals in the first 15 games
In scoring his 14th goal for Madrid, Bellingham surpassed football icon Ronaldo for the most goals in their first 15 games at the club.
The Al-Nassr striker previously topped the record with his 13 goals, putting him level with fellow club legend Alfredo Di Stéfano.
It is the latest impressive achievement in the list of achievements for the youngster, who recently made history by claiming the Kopa trophy at the Ballon d’Or awards.
As revealed by Mail Sport, Bellingham is being sought by Louis Vuitton for a multi-million pound endorsement deal, the latest sign that the England midfielder has risen into the ranks of sporting megastars.
The luxury French fashion house only works with sporting icons – they ran an advertising campaign with Lionel Messi and Ronaldo before last year’s World Cup, following a campaign with Pele, Diego Maradona and Zinedine Zidane ahead of the 2010 tournament – and are now focusing on the 20 year old from Stourbridge.
Bellingham has a keen interest in fashion and wore a Louis Vuitton suit with flared trousers to the Ballon d’Or awards in Paris last month.
The former Borussia Dortmund star also attended the house’s spring-summer 2024 menswear show in the French capital in June with his younger brother Jobe, after taking part in the first series of England’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and Macedonia.
The 20-year-old fired a low left-footed shot into the back of the net in the second half.
Bellingham will do well to surpass Ronaldo’s Madrid tally of 450 goals
On Sunday, Madrid stormed to victory over Cadiz after a brace from Rodrygo and Bellingham’s late goal.
The victory sees Ancelotti’s side surpass Girona at the top of LaLiga, having now won 11 of their 14 opening games.
Bellingham missed Madrid’s recent wins over Valencia and Braga in the Champions League as he struggled with a shoulder injury.
The 20-year-old was called up to England by Gareth Southgate but was forced to return to Madrid to continue building his fitness ahead of the post-international clash with Cadiz and their Champions League clash with Napoli in midweek.
