Real Madrid star joins Kylian Mbappé & Erling Haaland in exclusive Champions League club | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham on Wednesday secured for himself a place in an altogether exclusive club.

This came owing to his exploits during Real Madrid’s meeting with Stade Brestois.

Los Blancos are of course fresh off securing victory on the continent on Wednesday night.

After making the trip to France to face Brest in their final fixture of the newly-formatted league phase in the Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops emerged dominant 3-0 victors.

Rodrygo proved himself the star of the show on the evening, notching two of Real’s three goals.

And the aforementioned Jude Bellingham slotted home the visitors’ other goal, amid another fine individual performance.

As much keeps alive what has been a brilliant start to life for Bellingham in European competition, not only on the books of Real Madrid, but stretching all the way back to his time with Borussua Dortmund.

So much so that, as revealed by statisticians Opta:

‘At 21 years and 214 days, Jude Bellingham becomes the third youngest player to reach 25 goal appearances in the UEFA Champions League (12G 13A), after Kylian Mbappé (20 years and 306 days) and Erling Haaland (21 years and 139 days).’
