Real Madrid Confidencial Bellingham's Record with England: He's Only 21 and Has Broken All Records
Jude Bellingham continues to deliver sensational performances in the 'Three Lions' jersey
More than five months after his appointment as England's coach was made official, Thomas Tuchel made his debut on the bench. The debut took place at Wembley, against Albania, in the opening match of the qualifying phase for the 2026 World Cup.
The result was positive: a 2-0 victory with goals from Lewis-Skelly and Harry Kane. The young Arsenal defender made history for the English team, as did Thomas Tuchel... although the standout player of the match, once again, was Jude Bellingham.
The dominance was clearly in favor of the English team, although a lack of sharpness in the final third was once again evident. Despite the control, they struggled to find ways to break through a well-organized Albanian defense, and Harry Kane barely managed to get involved. The one who did manage to dismantle that defensive setup was Jude Bellingham, who is expected to become the leader of this renewed team.
A Brilliant Play by Jude Bellingham to Open the Match
In the 20th minute, the Real Madrid midfielder, far from the opposing area, controlled the ball, quickly turned, and used a body feint to get past the first defender. With a clear path to Strakosha's goal, he executed a masterful pass that left Lewis-Skelly alone, who didn't miss the finish. The Arsenal footballer, who will face Real Madrid in a few weeks, opened the scoring after the magnificent pass from Jude Bellingham.
Finally, England sealed the match with a goal from Harry Kane in the 77th minute. However, Jude Bellingham's assist in the first half opened up a match that lacked clarity for the English.
Another Spectacular Record for Jude Bellingham
In addition to the victory, Jude Bellingham achieved another milestone with the England jersey. At 21 years of age, the midfielder played his 41st match for his home country.
In doing so, the Real Madrid player became the footballer with the most matches played at 21 years or younger for England. Jude Bellingham surpassed Wayne Rooney, the Manchester United legend.
Along the way, Jude Bellingham has played in a European Championship final. Although he couldn't win that final against Spain, England's future looks bright if the footballer continues to lead.
