Real Madrid new signing has the joint-highest goal contributions in Europe’s top 10 leagues

Real Madrid are the only La Liga team to have won all of their opening three league fixtures.

Real Madrid are the only La Liga team to have won all of their opening three league fixtures.

The men in white have not had it easy in terms of injuries, but have battled through the adversity to record a strong start.

Indeed, such a positive run is not possible without an all-round performance from all the players. Yet, it is clear that no one comes close to Jude Bellingham in terms of the impact on the team.

The new signing has shone in all three of Real Madrid’s games so far and was the best player on the field on all three occasions.

He has racked up four goals and an assist in that short duration and is one of the primary reasons behind the team’s promising run.

Such has been his impact that Bellingham is tied with only Takumi Minamino as the player with the most goal contributions in Europe’s top 10 leagues so far. At five contributions in three games, he deserves every bit of the praise and attention.

His only competitor, Minamino, has recorded three goals and two assists so far for AS Monaco in Ligue 1.

Real Madrid shelled out over €100 million to sign the attacking midfielder from Borussia Dortmund this summer.

Considering his tender age and inexperience in Spanish football, many expected him to make a slow start to life at Madrid.

Bellingham, however, has proven to be a relentless and dedicated warrior for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

Not only has he made the attacking midfield spot his own but also promises so much more in terms of productive output.

The 20-year-old’s four goals in La Liga come from an xG of just 1.09 and just goes to show how clinical he has been in front of goal. Further, he averages a stunning two key passes and 1.7 successful dribbles per game.
