Real Madrid star breaks 72-year-old La Liga record after Rayo Vallecano goal | OneFootball

Despite the draw against Rayo Vallecano, there is a silver lining for Real Madrid with the continued outstanding form of Jude Bellingham in recent games.

Once again, Bellingham took charge of leading the team in the absence of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.

Regardless of whether these key players are on the pitch or not, Bellingham continues to take on significant responsibility, proving himself as one of the top footballers in the world today.

Breaking a 72-year-old record

His exceptional form has allowed him to break a long-standing record in La Liga. The midfielder scored yet another goal against Rayo Vallecano, which came just before half-time.

This crucial goal helped Real Madrid to equalize in a match that was becoming increasingly difficult in the opening minutes.

With this goal, Bellingham made history by scoring in six consecutive La Liga matches as a non-striker. The last player to achieve this feat was Roque Olsen, a former Real Madrid player who also scored in six straight matches.

Should Bellingham find the net again in the upcoming match against Sevilla FC, he will surpass this long-standing record.

Bellingham was not happy

Although his goal was a bright spot, Bellingham was visibly frustrated after the match. The referee failed to award a clear penalty for a foul on Vinicius Jr. in the final ten minutes, when the score was level at 3-3.

Bellingham, clearly upset by the decision, took to social media to express his displeasure, sending a strong message about the incident.

Overall, while the draw may have been disappointing for Real Madrid, the performances of Bellingham are a reminder of the immense talent the club has in its ranks.

His ability to lead the team, especially in the absence of key players, and his consistent goal-scoring form make him one of the most exciting players in world football right now.
