Real Madrid and England midfielder Jude Bellingham continues to rewrite the national team's record books.

Details: After registering an assist in the recent Nations League match against Croatia (which England won 2-1 thanks to goals from Morgan Rogers and Harry Kane), the 23-year-old midfielder took his tally of assists for England in 2026 to six.

Jude has therefore equalled Raheem Sterling's record: Sterling also registered six assists for the Three Lions in a single calendar year, in 2019. The feat highlights Bellingham's emergence as the chief creator in Thomas Tuchel's side.

This season, Bellingham has made 21 appearances for Real Madrid and England, scoring five goals and providing four assists for the Spanish club, as well as scoring once and assisting five times for his country. Transfermarkt values the player at €160 million.
