  • Jude Bellingham continued his dream start to life at Real Madrid
  • He has now scored in four successive La Liga games for Los Blancos
  • He has become the only player after Cristiano Ronaldo to achieve that feat

Jude Bellingham has become the first player since Cristiano Ronaldo to score in each of his first four La Liga games for Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old joined the Spanish giants in a record-breaking £115million transfer from Borussia Dortmund in June.

The Englishman made his league debut earlier last month and scored in a 2-0 win over Athletic Club.

Bellingham then carried his impressive form over to Real Madrid's second game of the La Liga season last week when he scored twice against Almeria.

He was also on the scoresheet as Los Blancos recorded a hard-fought win at Celta Vigo last weekend.

And the former Dortmund star clinched the winning goal during the club's clash with Getafe on Saturday in dramatic fashion.

The 95th-minute finish saw him level Ronaldo's total of four goals in his opening four La Liga games, per ESPN.

Bellingham recreates Zidane's iconic goal

Sports Brief also reported that while Bellingham has dazzled on the field, his recent training session with the Los Blancos, ahead of their match against Getafe, evoked memories of his football idol, Zinedine Zidane.

Pictures circulating on Twitter, now known as the X App, captured Bellingham flawlessly replicating Zidane's iconic volley from the 2002 Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen, held at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
