Jude Bellingham’s reaction after discovering he shares record with Erling Haaland

Jude Bellingham was left feeling like all of Erling Haaland’s opponents, frustrated to hear of the Manchester City striker’s record, after equalling the striker’s Champions League milestone.

The 19-year-old, who was handed the captain’s armband for the second match in-a-row, scored his third goal in the Champions League this season on Wednesday when he notched during Borussia Dortmund’s 4-1 victory over Sevilla.

The midfielder had previously scored in the 3-0 win over Copenhagen and the loss to Manchester City in Group G.

However, it’s a feat that Haaland completed years ago. Back in the 2019/20 campaign while playing for Red Bull Salzberg, Haaland actually scored in the opening FIVE group matches. He scored a hat-trick against Genk, one against Liverpool, three in the two games against Napoli before another against Genk.

Incidentally, Haaland also did it a year – although not when he was a teenager – when he scored six goals in four Champions League group games for Dortmund against Lazio, Zenit and Club Brugge.

Oh, and at the age of 22, he’s achieved it this season with Manchester City with two goals against Sevilla, the winner against Dortmund and another two goals against Copenhagen.

After the match, a reporter wanted to inform the Dortmund man with the stat and asked him to guess who the first player to do so was. When he found out it was, indeed, Haaland his reaction was brilliant.

Reporter: “So you’re only the second teenager in the Champions League who has scored in the first three matchdays. You know who was the first one?”

Bellingham: “Mbappe?”

Reporter: “You know him very well.”

Bellingham: “Erling. Ah of course. Can’t get anything over that geezer at the moment, I swear to God. But yeah, sums him up.”
