Jude Bellingham celebrated his 50th Champions League appearance on Tuesday night, overtaking Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas as the youngest player ever accomplish such a feat.
The England international made his Champions League debut at just 17 years old with Borussia Dortmund on Oct. 2020. Bellingham has since gone on to create some unforgettable moments in his European career.
Through 50 Champions League appearances, Bellingham has 14 goals and 13 assists. He also played a major role in Real Madrid conquering their all-time leading 15th Champions League title in 2023–24 during his debut season with the club.
Nevertheless, on the day that witnessed his 50th Champions League appearance, Bellingham and Real Madrid were stifled. Liverpool defeated Los Blancos 1–0 at Anfield in a poor performance from Xabi Alonso’s side.
Liverpool’s midfield was able to contain Bellingham, who didn’t have much of an attacking impact and spent much of the night tracking back to defend.
Still, it’s an impressive achievement from Bellingham, who has blossomed into one of the best midfielders and all around players in the world before his 23rd birthday.
