Bellingham equals Messi in Champions League

Against Salzburg, Bellingham did not score but had 2 assists, helping Rodrygo score a double in the first half. Thanks to that, Bellingham equaled Lionel Messi’s record of 24 goals and assists in the Champions League, affirming his position as one of the best young players in the world today.

Leo scored 17 goals and had 7 assists in Europe’s most prestigious arena at the age of 21. This achievement was equaled by Bellingham at the age of 21 years, 6 months and 24 days with a total of 11 goals and 13 assists.

However, Messi and Bellingham are not leading in this category. Erling Haaland ranked second with 26 goals and assists before turning 22. Leading the list is Kylian Mbappe with 37 goals and assists in the Champions League.
