On November 5, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid lost 0-1 away to Liverpool, and their winning streak was ended by their opponents. In this campaign, Bellingham started and played for 90 minutes, failing to continue the good momentum of scoring in three consecutive games. However, he also set a new record in this game and became the youngest player to reach 50 appearances in the history of the Champions League.

At only 22 years and 4 months old, Bellingham surpassed former Real Madrid legendary captain Casillas and became the youngest player in the history of the Champions League to reach 50 appearances. The latter once held this record at the age of 22 years, 5 months and 2 days. There are 4 Real Madrid players on the TOP5 of this list. The other two Real Madrid players are: Kylian Mbappe (22 years and 11 months) and Rodrygo (23 years and 3 months). The only "outsider" is Cesc Fabregas, who made 50 Champions League appearances for Arsenal and Barcelona at the age of 22 years and 10 months.

Bellingham made his Champions League debut with Dortmund against Lazio in 2020 and went on to play 23 games for the German team. Now wearing a white jersey, he won the Champions League Big Ear Cup when facing his old club in 2024. In 50 Champions League appearances, Bellingham's offensive efficiency was extremely high. He scored 14 goals and provided 13 assists, and was directly involved in 27 goals. His personal performance and team results were both remarkable.

However, facing Liverpool tonight, Bellingham failed to lead Real Madrid to an away victory and could only accept a "sad" result. In fact, Bellingham's recent form has been very good. He has scored in every game in the past three games, scoring 3 goals and 1 assist. This includes the national derby against Barcelona, ​​which helped Real Madrid beat their opponents 2-1. For Bellingham, he urgently needs to perform well in the game to convince England coach Tuchel to recruit him back to the national team.

Since Tuchel took office, Bellingham has gradually drifted away from the Three Lions. The last time he was selected for the England team was back in June this year. Tuchel revealed at the time that his mother found some of Bellingham's on-field behavior disgusting, before Tuchel apologized for the comments, explaining that the use of the word was unintentional. Tuchel has always emphasized that all players must agree with the concept of England's overall supremacy, otherwise he will not rule out the possibility of giving up recruiting some star players next summer. Three days later, Tuchel will announce England's final squad for World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania. Let's wait and see whether Bellingham can return to the Three Lions!
