Jude Bellingham becomes first Real Madrid player to score in his opening three LaLiga games since a VERY familiar name

JUDE BELLINGHAM has become the first player since Cristiano Ronaldo to score in each of his first three La Liga games for Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old joined the Spanish giants in a record-breaking £115million transfer 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 carried his impressive form over to Real Madrid’s second game of the La Liga season last week when he scored twice against Almeria.

And he clinched the winning goal during the club’s clash with Celta Vigo on Friday in dramatic fashion.

The 81st minute header saw him level Ronaldo’s total of four goals in his opening three La Liga games.

And fans have been quick to draw comparisons between the two superstars.

One person tweeted: “Two generational talents.”

Another added: “Cristiano has set the records and Bellingham is following up.”

While a third wrote: “Catching up to the champ.”

Ronaldo scored 450 goals and provided 131 assists in 438 games during his nine-year spell with Real Madrid before joining Juventus in 2018.

The 38-year-old now plays for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, having joined the club in January.

Many fans have hailed Bellingham as the signing of the summer, with one person writing: “He is levels ahead of the rest.”

Another commented: “Legend in the making.”

While another simply said: “Best summer signing.”

Bellingham took to social media to celebrate the win on Friday evening.

He posted: “Love a late winner, 3/3. Time to see my new home.”
