Signing of the season: Jude Bellingham sets another record during Real Madrid's victory over Almeria.

Jude Bellingham's remarkable journey in La Liga has hit a new high as the young English midfielder has set a record by becoming the highest-scoring English player in the history of Spain's top football league.

His 14th goal for Real Madrid, scored against Almeria, not only marked this individual milestone but also played a crucial role in propelling Real Madrid back to the top of the La Liga table. 

Record-Breaking Achievement

Bellingham's goal-scoring prowess this season has been nothing short of sensational. Since his transfer from Borussia Dortmund, he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to find the back of the net, with a significant tally of goals in La Liga and additional contributions in the Champions League.

This achievement breaks a record previously held by some of Real Madrid's most legendary players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Alfredo di Stefano, and Pruden, for the most goals scored in the initial set of matches for the club.

Impact at Real Madrid

Bellingham's contribution to Real Madrid extends beyond just scoring goals. He has been integral in creating opportunities and assisting his teammates, exemplifying his all-around capabilities on the field. 

His recent goal was complemented by his assist to Rodrygo, another key player for Real Madrid. Together, they have helped maintain Real Madrid's dominance in La Liga, keeping them in contention for the top spot in the league.
