Jude Bellingham overtakes Barcelona star in La Liga goals, despite having played a season less | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic, highlighting the ongoing excellence of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham in front of goal, has on Saturday evening come to the fore online.

Midfielder Bellingham was for his part afforded his latest start a short time ago, as Real Madrid made the trip to Vallecas, for a La Liga meeting with Rayo Vallecano.

When all was said and done, Los Blancos were forced to make do with a disappointing share of the spoils, owing to a 3-3 result.

Bellingham, though, impressed once more, finding the net for the sixth league game on the trot.

And, as alluded to above, such efforts on the part of the Englishman have since given rise to an altogether noteworthy statistic.

As revealed by statisticians StatMuse, Bellingham, with 25, now has one more La Liga goal to his name than Barcelona wide-man Raphinha.

This comes despite the fact that the former has spent a full season less plying his club trade in Spain.
