Jude Bellingham has integrated seamlessly into the Real Madrid first team. The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder hasn’t even been on the team that long, but he’s already made a difference.

No one could have predicted an adaptation as swift and remarkable as Bellingham’s, to be sure. Above all, his rise to prominence as a goal scorer was even more fleeting.

Few would have guessed Bellingham would be the player fighting Erling Haaland for the European Golden Boot this season in September.

Even for Bellingham, the reflection was strange and even utopian; it was like seeing into a long-term mirror with distortions.

Who would have believed it?As of the now, Bellingham is the only player capable of endangering Erling Haaland in the race for the coveted Golden Boot, claims AS.Haaland has an astonishing five goals this season, which translates to one goal per 70 and 83 minutes, respectively.

It was immediately apparent that Bellingham would serve as Ancelotti’s primary player on the journey to America. Bellingham just needed eight minutes to have an impact in La Liga. Everything he does seems to be accomplished with such ease.He has assisted in five of Real Madrid’s eight goals this season, or an astounding 62% of the team’s total goals.In his first four games as a Galactico, Bellingham has scored in every game, mirroring Cristiano Ronaldo’s early success at Real Madrid.Bellingham has developed into more than just a player, as seen by his late winner against Getafe on Saturday. He is currently the main reason Real Madrid is successful.

The other side of the sea

In the meantime, Haaland, the goal-scoring monster who scorched the field with a mind-boggling 52 goals last season, lives across the English Channel.

Haaland has already scored six goals in the current Premier League season, which has four matchdays left. He launched his most recent bombardment against Fulham this past Saturday, scoring an incredible hat-trick in the process.Haaland, a player Real Madrid is interested in, now has the most goals scored across all five of the top leagues in European football.

His primary competitors right now are Bellingham and the strong Serhou Guirassy of Stuttgart, who has bravely scored five goals of his own. Bellingham and Real Madrid are displaying encouraging signs, but it is still too early to predict who will win the Golden Boot.
