Cristiano Ronaldo's record is broken by Jude Bellingham after he scores again for Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham broke a record he shared with Cristiano Ronaldo on Sunday by scoring in Real Madrid's 3-0 victory over Cadiz, capping off another incredible performance at the club.

Bellingham made an instant impression after securing his summer transfer to the Bernabeu with an initial £88.5 million. Real Madrid is now leading La Liga and are undefeated in the Champions League thanks to the midfielder's outstanding 14 goals in 15 games across all competitions this season.

With 15 games played, no player has scored more goals than him, so his strike against Cadiz has put him in a special position in the club's history. With 13 goals in their first 15 games, legends like Ronaldo, Alfredo di Stefano, and Pruden Sanchez are only behind Bellingham.

Bellingham was cleared to play from the outset after missing England's most recent Euro 2024 qualifying matches against North Macedonia and Malta due to a shoulder ailment. But not long after he scored his goal, Lucas Vazquez took his place as a precaution.
