Jude Bellingham Becomes First Real Madrid Player Since Cristiano Ronaldo To Score In First Three La Liga Games

Jude Bellingham scored his fourth goal in three games as Real Madrid won 1-0 away at Celta Vigo on Friday night.

The 20-year-old England midfielder found the net with a diving header in the 81st minute after Joselu had flicked on a Toni Kroos corner kick.

Bellingham's breakthrough came 13 minutes after Celta keeper Ivan Villar had saved a penalty from Rodrygo.

Next up for Real is a home clash with Getafe on September 2. 

Bellingham moved to Madrid in June when he became the club's second most expensive signing of all time.

Real agreed to pay Dortmund an initial transfer fee of €103 million but his former club could eventually receive as much as €133.9m due to various performance-based add-ons.
