After Madrid "Real" lost to "Liverpool" (0:1) in the UEFA Champions League match, guest midfielder Jude Bellingham could only take solace in his personal achievement.

It has been calculated that the Englishman broke the record of the legendary royal club goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

J. Bellingham became the youngest footballer in Champions League history to reach the 50-match milestone in the tournament.

The Englishman was 22 years and 128 days old, thus surpassing I. Casillas by almost a month.

Also in the top five are Cesc Fabregas (22 years and 331 days), Kylian Mbappe (22 years and 339 days), and Lionel Messi (23 years and 166 days).
