Jude Bellingham set for highest-ever goals tally in a single season

Jude Bellingham has only been at Real Madrid for 106 days but he is already breaking records. The midfielder has already scored the same number of goals as he did in the whole of last season with Dortmund: 14. His next goal for the club will see him reach his highest tally to date in his short career for a single season.

The goal in Cádiz was his 14th, on a night in which he still played despite having pain in his left shoulder. Today (Monday) marks 22 days since his dislocation against Rayo Vallecano, something that was far more serious than initially imagined. He has undergone tough rehabilitation sessions and was expected to reach 100 per cent soon, but the list of injuries at Madrid forced him to play on Sunday.

Bellingham vs Cádiz

In the 3-0 win over Cádiz on Sunday, Bellingham was the second most successful for shots on goal (3), had the third most completed passes (60), the second in the final third of the pitch (20), had the second most successful dribbles (3), and even had the most successful tackles (3). In total, he had 84 ball recoveries, just behind Toni Kroos (138) and Fede Valverde (95).

Unstoppable Jude

In his first 15 games for Real Madrid, he has 14 goals in 1,294 minutes in all competitions - which means a goal every 92 minutes. For context, last season, his best in goalscoring terms in his career, he scored the same number of goals for Dortmund, but in 42 games. He played 3,557 minutes in total, averaging a goal every 254 minutes.

Bellingham has now scored more goals in his first 15 games for Real Madrid than Cristiano Ronaldo (13), Alfredo Di Stéfano (13), Ferenc Puskás (11), Raúl (7), Hugo Sánchez (7) and Karim Benzema (5). At the age of 20, he is already breaking records.
