Jude Bellingham will join Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in etching his name into El Clasico legend this weekend.
The England international has made a remarkable start to life at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring a staggering 11 goals in 12 games in all competitions.
Now the 20-year-old is preparing for his ultimate test when Real Madrid host Barcelona in the first El Clasico of the season.
It will be Bellingham’s first experience of the world’s most watched club football competition, providing himself with the opportunity to further enhance his rapid rise to superstardom.
El Clasico has created many iconic moments in people’s memory, none more so than Ronaldo’s “calm” celebration at Camp Nou in 2012 and Messi’s shirt celebration in 2017.
Before the “siuuuuu” celebrations began, Ronaldo was more reserved after scoring the winning goal in the 2-1 win over Real Madrid at Camp Nou.

As the Portuguese turned around to celebrate, he used his hands to tell the 90,000 home fans to relax, an unforgettable moment that almost sealed his side’s La Liga title.
Six years ago, Messi created an unforgettable moment when he scored Barcelona’s winning goal in a 92nd-minute counterattack.
The Argentine then ripped off his shirt and held it up to the shocked Bernabeu fans, a move rarely seen from the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.
With both stars passing the torch to the next generation, Bellingham has the chance to create his own signature moment if he can continue his superb goal-scoring form.
The Three Lions star caused a stir with his own trademark celebration, standing with his arms raised and staring into the crowd.
Bellingham even started a craze, with Real Madrid fans imitating the celebrations whenever he scored.
If the former Birmingham City man is decisive again on Saturday afternoon, he will become the first Englishman to score in this match since Michael Owen in Real Madrid’s 4-2 victory over their arch-rivals in 2005 people.
