Jude Bellingham showcased his talent by scoring during Real Madrid's 3-1 victory over Pachuca in the Club World Cup, igniting a friendly rivalry with his younger brother Jobe, who recently netted his first goal for Borussia Dortmund. Bellingham's goal came at a crucial moment when Real was down to ten men, as he controlled a pass and finished expertly into the far corner, helping his team secure their first win under new manager Xabi Alonso.

This match marked a historic moment for the Bellingham brothers, as it is the first time siblings have scored in the same Club World Cup, and the first instance of brothers participating in the tournament together. The brothers, whose combined market value is around £164 million, could potentially face off in the quarter-finals if both Real Madrid and Dortmund progress through their respective groups.

In a light-hearted manner, Jude remarked, "We're 1-1 now," referencing their goal tally in the tournament. Despite his on-field success, Jude also announced plans to undergo surgery for a long-standing shoulder issue after the tournament. He expressed his determination to play pain-free, as he has been managing the injury since 2023.

Jude's performance against Pachuca further emphasizes his attacking prowess, having scored 38 goals and provided 27 assists for Real Madrid since joining the club in the summer of 2023. As he continues to impress in his central midfield role, discussions surrounding his tactical fit within Alonso's system and his ability to thrive alongside stars like Kylian Mbappé will be pivotal for Real Madrid's ambitions this season.
