Jude Bellingham, who has scored 15 goals for the Blancos through 17 appearances to break records previously posted by Cristiano Ronaldo,

I can't be more grateful to all the people I have met along the way to help get me to the point I am at now. It's about trying to make my team and country the best teams in the world and to be the best player in the world you have to help your teams win
Jude Bellingham
