Jude Bellingham equals David Beckham’s Real Madrid benchmark with England

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has on Tuesday secured for himself a fresh place in the history books in Spain’s capital. This comes owing to his latest appearance in the colours of England.

Thomas Tuchel’s troops are currently locked in action in the Nations League, in a meeting with Czechia at Wembley.

The aforementioned Bellingham, fresh off a spectacular individual performance against Croatia last time out, was in from the off once again for the fixture, from his advanced berth in the Three Lions’ midfield.

And owing to as much, the former Borussia Dortmund talent, at just 23 years of age, etched his name ever further into the history books at club and international level alike.

As per a report from statisticians Opta:

‘Jude Bellingham tonight makes his 36th England appearance while playing for Real Madrid, the joint most along with David Beckham.’

Bellingham, all told, has now taken to the pitch in English colours on a remarkable 60 occasions.
