Bellingham equals Messi in stunning feat but is outdone by Mbappe and Haaland

talksport.com, 22 January 2025, 21:46
Jude Bellingham has gone level with Lionel Messi in Champions League goal contributions for players aged 21 and under.

The midfielder assisted both of Rodrygo's goals in the first half of Real Madrid's league phase clash against Red Bull Salzburg.

His efforts have extended his Champions League goal contributions tally to 24, dong so aged 21 years, six months and 24 days.

Bellingham sits on 11 goals and 13 assists in Europe's elite competition, with the total the same as Messi's [17 goals, seven assists] when he was aged 21 or younger.

The Argentine footballing icon, who won four Champions League title, scored 17 goals and assisted another seven for Barcelona.

However, their tallies are beaten by the respective Madrid and Manchester City stars Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.

The former hit 37 contributions before turning 22 years old, whilst the latter reached 26.

Bellingham was substituted in the 64th minute of play at the Santiago Bernabeu so didn't have the opportunity to eclipse Messi.

The England international has now totalled 32 goals and 22 assists in 70 outings across all competitions for Madrid.

Out of those 54 contributions, 18 of them have come this season.

Madrid face a battle to advance to the last 16 of the Champions League following poor form earlier in the campaign.

Defeats to Lille, AC Milan and Liverpool have left the reigning champions lingering in the middle 16 teams in the table.

Should their final standing come within these positions, they will have to win a two-legged play-off match to advance.

However, there is still an opportunity for them to climb into the top eight and continue their title defence.
