Jude Bellingham netted a sensational individual goal against SSC Napoli during Real Madrid's second UEFA Champions League group match at the Stadio Diego Maradona.

The in-form English midfielder continued his exceptional run of form for Los Blancos, completing a first-half comeback in the marquee Group C clash.

Bellingham initially played a pivotal role in Madrid's equalizer by assisting Vinicius Junior, who made his first Champions League start of the season following a recent injury setback.

However, the former Borussia Dortmund captain decided to take matters into his own hands, expertly navigating through the Napoli defence before unleashing an unstoppable strike into the top corner.

Check out the goal below:



As per Opta statistics, the 20-year-old has notched eight goals in the UEFA Champions League, a tally surpassed by only four players before reaching the age of 21: Erling Haaland (20), Kylian Mbappé (19), Karim Benzema (12), and Patrick Kluivert (9).
