In the world of soccer, certain players have always stood out as true legends. One such legend is Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest goalscorers of all time. His prowess in front of the goal is unparalleled, and his legacy at Real Madrid will never be forgotten. However, it seems that a new star is emerging at the Bernabeu, someone who is walking in Ronaldo’s goalscoring footsteps and is being claimed to become a true legend in his own right – Jude Bellingham.

At just 20 years old, Bellingham has already made a significant impact at Real Madrid in his debut season. Despite not being a dedicated striker, he has managed to break Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal records and is currently leading the La Liga Golden Boot race with an impressive 10 goals. This feat alone has caught the attention of every Real Madrid fan and has even left club president Florentino Perez impressed.

Jude Bellingham is a future legend according to Florentino Perez

Real Madrid’s decision not to sign a proper striker after Karim Benzema‘s departure speaks volumes about the trust they have in Bellingham. His ability to excel in the false 9 role is a testament to his versatility. His goal-scoring records speak for his quality, and his performances have certainly impressed Perez.

In a recent statement, Perez praised Bellingham. The businessman also expressed his belief that the young Englishman is destined to become a Real Madrid legend. He said, “At only 20 years of age, he is one of the best in the world, a benchmark for the English national team, and in a very short time, he has become one of Real Madrid’s idols. He is called to mark an era and become a Real Madrid legend”.

These words from the president are not to be taken lightly. Perez’s vision for Real Madrid has always been about building a team of extraordinary talents who can carry the torch and continue the legacy of the club’s legends. With his impressive performances and goalscoring prowess, Bellingham is well on his way to achieving that status. Along the way, he has also set his sights on surpassing Ronaldo’s goal-scoring records.

Bellingham is putting Cristiano Ronaldo’s records in danger

This season has been exceptional for the Englishman. In his first four matches for Madrid, he matched the Portuguese striker’s record of scoring goals in consecutive first 4 games. Although Bellingham fell short of breaking this record, he did manage to break another one.
