Jude Bellingham, the rising star of Real Madrid, matched a record previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo as Los Blancos dominated Osasuna with a convincing 4-0 victory in their La Liga clash on Saturday.

At just 20 years old, Bellingham has seamlessly integrated into life at the Bernabeu, and his remarkable start continued with two more goals in the Spanish capital over the weekend.

In the ninth minute of the match against Osasuna, Bellingham displayed his prowess by entering the penalty area, receiving a pass from Dani Carvajal, and calmly slotting the ball into the top of the net, despite several red-shirted defenders surrounding him.

Although Carlo Ancelotti's side couldn't build on their lead during the first half, Bellingham struck again just nine minutes into the second half. This time, he combined skillfully with Federico Valverde and neatly placed the ball through the legs of Sergio Herrera.

Bellingham's second goal seemed to open the floodgates for the rest of the match. Vinicius Junior darted past Herrera to score the third goal for his side before setting up Joselu to complete the rout. While the Real Madrid fans enjoyed an impressive team performance, Bellingham once again stole the spotlight.

The English international now boasts an impressive tally of 10 goals in as many games while wearing the iconic white jersey.

In achieving this milestone, Bellingham became the first Real Madrid player since Ronaldo in 2009 to reach double figures in goals within their first 10 games for the club.

In addition to his goal-scoring exploits, Bellingham has also provided three assists under Ancelotti's management. He has contributed directly to a goal in all but two of his appearances for the Spanish giants so far.

Before the triumph against Osasuna, Bellingham had already made his mark by scoring and assisting in a thrilling 3-2 Champions League victory against Napoli, following a crucial goal on the opening matchday against Union Berlin.

In the company of legends like Ronaldo, Isco, and Marco Asensio, Bellingham is only the fourth Real Madrid player to score on both their La Liga and Champions League debuts. His achievement of netting in each of his first four games is a feat previously accomplished only by Ronaldo and Pepillo.

Ancelotti expressed his surprise at Bellingham's incredible start to life at the club but couldn't hide his delight at working with such a "spectacular" talent, as he told the press.
"It's the same as always. He is finding a lot of possibilities up front, very involved in attacking play.

"The fact that he does not have a fixed position on the field gives him an advantage. He comes from the second line very well, he combines well with his teammates and it has been a surprising start to the season in all aspects. Obviously, no one expected this level in terms of goals.

"He has adapted very well, but that is not what matters to us much. We are lucky to have signed a spectacular player. We are very happy, me as the coach and the fans. We are very happy about it."
