Despite being just 20 years of age, Jude Bellingham has already become accustomed to breaking records in the world of football. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has achieved several impressive feats, including becoming the youngest-ever goalscorer for his club in 2020 and the youngest Englishman to start a Champions League game.
Bellingham’s Euro 2024 Achievements
In the ongoing Euro 2024 tournament, Bellingham has added another remarkable achievement to his growing list of records. He started and scored in England’s opening game against Serbia, making him the youngest player to feature in three major international tournaments. This record surpasses the long-standing mark set by Cristiano Ronaldo by three years.
Bellingham’s goal against Serbia also set a new standard for the tournament, as it was clocked at a maximum speed of 60.6kph, making it the strongest header scored so far at Euro 2024. This precise data was captured by the Connected Ball Technology, which is being used for the first time at the European Championships, providing real-time ball data to the video match officials.
“While Bellingham’s other records may stand the test of time, this particular one might not last as long, with dozens of games still to be played in the tournament.”
