How Bellingham made history with his first 15 matches for Madrid, breaking Ronaldo’s record
Real Madrid shook the football world when they secured the signing of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund.
The young England midfielder inked a remarkable six-year contract at the Bernabéu, with Madrid agreeing to pay an initial €103 million (£88.5 million) for the 19-year-old, as confirmed by Dortmund on June 10, 2023.
Since then, Bellingham has not only lived up to the hefty price tag but has surpassed expectations, making history in the process.
Bellingham’s Record-Breaking Streak
Jude Bellingham has etched his name in the annals of Real Madrid history by achieving a feat no player before him has accomplished. In his first 15 matches with the prestigious club, he has scored an incredible 14 goals.
This stunning achievement surpasses the records set by legendary figures like Cristiano Ronaldo and Alfredo Di Stéfano, both of whom scored 13 goals each in their initial 15 matches.
This historic milestone was reached following Real Madrid’s commanding 3-0 victory over Cádiz, where Bellingham once again showcased his goal-scoring prowess.

Magic in Andalusia: Real Madrid’s Victory Over Cádiz
Real Madrid’s triumph over Cádiz marked their 16th consecutive visit to Andalusia, securing a 3-0 win through a blend of efficient counter-attacking and a touch of offensive brilliance.
Rodrygo Goes played a starring role, notching two goals, including an impressive solo effort. The third goal, sealing the victory, came from none other than the record-breaking Bellingham.
In a routine yet commanding 3-0 win, Carlo Ancelotti’s side claimed the top spot in La Liga, at least until Girona plays on Monday.
Despite facing challenges from Cadiz’s energetic pressing in the first half, Real Madrid went into halftime with a 1-0 lead.
The second half saw Madrid assert control, with Bellingham’s goal and Rodrygo’s brace sealing a relaxed final ten minutes for the team.
This allowed Madrid to offer valuable first-team minutes to academy graduates, highlighting the depth of their squad.
Real Madrid is now hopeful that Girona will drop points today, creating an opportunity for them to strengthen their position.
Meanwhile, Cadiz finds themselves nervously looking over their shoulder as they inch closer to the relegation zone.
Amidst these dynamics, one thing is clear – Jude Bellingham is not just making waves; he’s rewriting the narrative of his extraordinary career at Real Madrid, and he’s only getting started.
