Eight goals and three assists in the first 10 games of the Real Madrid. We don’t talk about Benzema. Nor of Figo, Zidane o Beckham.Ni de Bale o Ronaldo Nazario. These are the Bellingham numbers, the impact of which is beyond the reach of most ‘galactic’ who arrived at the white team. Only the almighty resists him Cristiano. And English and Portuguese are from another galaxy.

He Real Madrid He made a brutal financial effort for a player who joined the white club at the age of 19. It was a bet for the present, but above all for the future..

Of course, he scored against them in three games and in another seven he kept a scoreless score. He did not have the consistency in front of goal as Bellingham y Cristiano Ronaldo. Benzema He scored three goals and it was difficult for him to even be a ‘starter’ in the first 10 games of the season. Real Madrid after the arrival of the Frenchman in 2009. Figo scored two goals and Bale only one while he entered and left the team due to some muscle problems that were an obstacle in his debut.
