The third round of La Liga concluded on Monday night with Atletico Madrid’s impressive victory over Rayo Vallecano (7-0). Surprisingly, the new recruit of Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham, currently leads the list of top scorers in the Spanish league with four goals.
Signed this summer from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of 103 million euros (excluding bonuses), Jude Bellingham probably didn’t expect such a strong start with Real Madrid, and neither did the club. After showcasing his skills during the preseason, the English international quickly became a major offensive asset for the Merengues at the beginning of the season. As evidence, with four goals, the former BVB player is the top scorer in La Liga after three rounds.
Jude Bellingham found the back of the net in his very first league match with Real Madrid. He scored the second goal for his team in a 2-0 victory over Bilbao. The English player followed up in the next match with a brace against Almeria, saving the day for Casa Blanca. Last weekend, Bellingham netted the only goal for Madrid in their 1-0 win against Celta Vigo. His astonishing start to the season must be pleasing for the Madrid management as they made a good acquisition.
The top scorers’ list after three La Liga rounds is completed by Alvaro Morata (Atletico Madrid), who already has three goals, including a double against Rayo Vallecano on Monday night. The top 10 is rounded out by several players who have scored two goals each, including Ferran Torres (FC Barcelona), Marcos Llorente (Atletico Madrid), and William José (Real Betis).
