Jude Bellingham matches CR7 again! Real Madrid star continues to follow in Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps with latest La Liga goal against Girona

The 20-year-old midfielder has made an immediate impact at Santiago Bernabeu on the back of his €103 million (£89m/$108m) summer transfer from Borussia Dortmund. He hit the ground running in Spanish football, with the target found on five occasions through his first four La Liga appearances.

That feat has only previously been managed by Portuguese superstar Ronaldo, and Bellingham is keeping up with the pace set by Real’s all-time leading scorer. He was on target again during Los Blancos’ latest fixture against Girona.

Bellingham is now up to six goals in the Spanish top flight from just seven games. That is the same return that five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo managed during his debut campaign with Real back in 2009-10. No player has posted a better record for the club in the 21st century.

Ruud van Nistelrooy hit four in seven when joining Madrid, while Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Brazilian legend Ronaldo all managed three goals. Bellingham has also netted in the Champions League this season, meaning that he has seven efforts in total through eight outings in all competitions.
