Jude Bellingham made a spectacular impression this Wednesday during matchday 4 of the Champions League. The Real Madrid midfielder produced a "sensational madjer", reports Le Figaro, while Sports.fr calls it a "golazo" and Foot Mercato a "sublime equaliser".

A goal to equalise in Athens

Real Madrid were away to AEK Athens on Wednesday evening for matchday 4 of the competition. Things did not go smoothly, with AEK Athens opening the scoring, according to Foot Mercato. It was in this context that Jude Bellingham brought his side level with a truly beautiful strike.

An early record for Bellingham

This match was also an opportunity for Jude Bellingham to write his name into Champions League history. According to Bola na Rede, the player, aged 23 years, 4 months and 5 days, became the youngest player in history to play 60 Champions League matches, thus beating the record held by Iker Casillas.

The two French media outlets and the Portuguese media agree on the player's performance, although no further details on the final score or the exact circumstances of the goal were provided in the available sources.
