Jude Bellingham joins Real Madrid legend in UCL history books vs Arsenal | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has on Wednesday continued to etch his name ever further into the history books of European football.

Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action on the continent.

After being condemned to an alarming 3-0 drubbing at The Emirates last week, Los Blancos have welcomed Arsenal to Spain’s capital, for a Champions League quarter-final clash.

The aforementioned Bellingham, as expected, was afforded his latest starting berth for the matchup, joining Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde in the middle of the hosts’ midfield.

And as alluded to above, owing to as much, the England international has secured for himself a fresh piece of European history.

As per statisticians Opta:

‘Jude Bellingham is making his 47th appearance in the UEFA Champions League tonight, equalling the most by a player aged 21 or under in the competition’s history (level with Iker Casillas, 47).’
