Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is the top scorer in La Liga temporarily with 3 goals, followed by Kike Garcia striker Alaves with 2 goals and Cristian Stuani striker Girona with the same number. Meanwhile, Lewandowski last season's top scorer has not scored in two matches this season.
I'm happy with Jude Bellingham's goalscoring record in Real Madrid's last two games in La Liga, but I can't fully expect Bellingham to be top scorer this season because he's not a striker but a midfielder. It's rare for a midfielder to become top scorer at the end of a season, because in most cases, strikers and wingers are the two players who often win it.
So far I know Jude Bellingham's role in a game more than a midfielder, he is an attacking midfielder who is expected to also be able to score goals when other strikers are struggling. It's similar to De Bruyne's situation at Manchester City, but he was never top scorer.
IMO, it does not matter even though Bellingham is only a midfielder but if he can really get a top scorer it actually proves that Bellingham has an increase in his talent so there is no rule if it has to be a striker who is allowed to score the most. I think Madrid goal is to get Bellingham because you know how talented Bellingham has so that Madrid is trying to redeem this player to replace Benzema even though he is not a reliable striker.
