Jude Bellingham dominated the 2026 World Cup. The Real Madrid midfielder scored six goals in six matches, adding one assist as England reached the semi-finals in the tournament co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
His performance included a winner against Croatia and a brace against Mexico. He earned four Man of the Match awards.
At just 23, Bellingham now has seven World Cup goals for England. That places him third on the all-time list, behind Harry Kane's 14 and Gary Lineker's 10. He achieved his tally in a single tournament.
The display silences doubts about his move from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid. His sustained output under the pressure of a World Cup cements his status in English football lore.
