Again goalscorer against Celta Vigo on Friday, Eden Hazard has already scored as many goals as Eden Hazard in La Liga.
This is what we can call successful beginnings. Friday night, Jude Bellingham took out the real Madrid of a very complicated trap on the lawn of Celta Vigo. Struggling to find the loophole in the Celta defence, Los Blancos were awarded a penalty for a foul on Rodrygo, but the Brazilian saw his attempt repelled by Ivan Villar and even nearly conceded the opener in stride.
Bellingham saves Real again
But Carlo Ancelotti was once again able to count on the English international to save the day. Capturing a deflection of Joselu’s header like a fox from the surfaces, the midfielder gave his team a third victory in as many matches in the league and increased his total goals to 4 in La Liga, making him the top scorer of the championship.
But with this achievement, the former Dortmund player highlighted the failure of the one who remains in front of him the most expensive player in the history of Real, Eden Hazard (€115m vs. €103). With 4 goals in 3 La Liga matches, Bellingham has therefore equaled the Belgian international, who took four seasons and 54 matches to reach this total. The adventure of Bellingham starts much better than that of the former Lille.
