The midfielder scored his first La Liga goal on the opening day of the campaign in a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.

And he went on to hit the ground running, scoring in each of the club’s first four games.

Bellingham matched three records set by Ronaldo within his first two months at Real Madrid.

But on Sunday he smashed a major record previously held by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

The England international scored his 14th goal of the season in a 3-0 win over Cadiz to help Los Blancos return to the top of La Liga.

It proved to be a milestone moment as he has now scored more goals than any other Real Madrid player in their first 15 games.

Club legend Ronaldo, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Pruden all scored 13 goals in their first 15 games for Los Blancos.

Ferenc Puskás scored 11, Raul and Hugo Sanchez both scored seven and Karim Benzema scored five.

Bellingham returned to action at the weekend after missing the international break due to a shoulder injury.

The midfielder dislocated his shoulder during a match against Rayo Vallecano earlier this month.

He subsequently had to withdraw from the England squad due to the issue.
