JUDE BELLINGHAM continues to shine on his debut season for Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old joined Los Blancos in a £115million transfer from Borussia Dortmund last summer and has since broken record after record.
Bellingham matched three records set by Cristiano Ronaldo within his first two months at the Santiago Bernabeu.
And by November the midfielder had scored more goals than any other Real Madrid player in their first 15 games for the club.
Bellingham hit another milestone at the weekend, becoming the first La Liga player to reach double figures in both goals and assists this season across all competitions.
The England star provided an assist for Rodrygo as Real Madrid clinched a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
