At just 19 years old, Jude Bellingham has already turned heads with his performances at Borussia Dortmund.

Should Bellingham finalize his move to the Santiago Bernabeu, he would inherit the number 7 shirt, famously worn by an array of football legends at Real Madrid.

This number is more than just a digit on a jersey; it symbolizes a legacy of unparalleled success and individual brilliance.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the quintessential number seven, transformed the shirt into an emblem of extraordinary talent and relentless success.

Ronaldo’s tally of 450 goals in 438 appearances, along with 4 Champions League trophies and 4 Ballon d’Or awards, remains an unparalleled testament to his Bernabeu legacy.

Before Ronaldo, the legendary Spanish striker Raul wore the number seven with immense pride. Scoring 323 goals in 741 games, Raul led Madrid to 3 Champions League titles and 6 La Liga triumphs.

Emilio Butragueño, Kopa, and Amancio also added to the rich history of the number seven shirt, each leaving an indelible mark on the club.

The potential transfer of Bellingham to Real Madrid would fill the void left by Eden Hazard.

Despite his undeniable talent, Hazard struggled to make a substantial impact at Madrid, failing to live up to the grandeur of the number 7 jersey.

Jude Bellingham, meanwhile, has showcased resilience and determination throughout his career.

The young Englishman alluded to his unquenchable thirst for success when accepting his Bundesliga Player of the Season award, expressing his disappointment at missing out on the championship.
