Jude Bellingham becomes first EVER English player to win prestigious award after blistering start to Real Madrid career

The former Birmingham starlet scored on his debut in a 2-0 win at Athletic Bilbao.
He then grabbed two goals and an assist in a virtuoso performance as his team beat Almeria 3-1.
Bellingham added a further goal against Celta Vigo, netting his side's 81st minute winner.
