Real Madrid star overtakes Barcelona legend in Champions League record books | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic surrounding the creative efforts of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has this evening come to the fore online.

This comes owing to developments in Real’s latest outing.

Carlo Ancelotti’s troops are of course locked in action at present.

Fresh off a 4-1 downing of Las Palmas in La Liga at the weekend, Los Blancos have turned attentions back towards matters on the continent, in a Champions League showdown with RB Salzburg.

And, as things stand, Real look well on their way to a third successive victory across all competitions.

This comes with a first-half brace on the part of Rodrygo having guided the reigning Spanish champions into a 2-0 lead.

Whilst frontman Rodrygo was responsible for netting both goals, it was the aforementioned Jude Bellingham who proved himself creator in chief, notching a pair of assists.

And as much has since given rise to quite the statistic.

As revealed by StatMuse, Bellingham, despite being just 21, has now recorded more Champions League assists than Barcelona and Brazil legend Ronaldinho.
