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.
Well that's right. But if Jude Bellingham can maintain the form he has and he is still good at positioning himself to score more goals. So I thought that would be a great thing. And so far Jude Bellingham has succeeded in realizing everyone's expectations about him. Before the season started I personally hoped that Vinicius Jr could be more aggressive in scoring goals. But in these two matches Vini jr only scored 1 goal. Meanwhile, Bellingham has scored 3 goals. And what I see from a Bellingham is that he can always put himself in a position where it is easy to receive a pass and score a goal. So I think he has the potential to score more goals this season.
Bellingham had a great debut and in the match against Almeria 2 goals and one assist was also a great result. It is strange that Kroos' goal was not counted, so the victory would have been even more convincing. In any case, so far Real have found someone who will score with his head instead of Benzema, plus Kroos and Modric are still playing well, creating creativity in attack. I have to give credit to Real's selection department, the purchase of Bellingham looks very successful so far, despite the transfer fee.
