Jude Bellingham shines and equals Maradona's World Cup record

The 2026 World Cup continues to be the scene of great emotions, and the match between England and Mexico was no different. Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham produced an impressive performance, helping England to a dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico in the round of 16. With a performance that many consider the best of his international career, Bellingham not only guided his team to victory, but also made history by equaling a record held by Diego Maradona. The match was played at the iconic Azteca Stadium, where Bellingham showed his worth by scoring two goals in the space of just 98 seconds, putting England ahead and leaving the fans ecstatic. These goals not only ensured control of the game for the Three Lions, but also made him the first player to score twice in a World Cup match at this famous stadium since Maradona, who did the same in the semi-final against Belgium in 1986.  In addition to becoming a national hero, Bellingham reached the milestone of five goals in World Cups, counting his performances in 2022 and 2026, surpassing English football legends such as Bobby Charlton, Frank Lampard and David Beckham. After the match, the young player expressed his joy in an interview, describing the night as the best of his career with the national team. "It was an incredible night, I'm speechless," said Bellingham, who also commented on the intensity of the game. "It was a chaotic match, with many emotional moments, and we have to give credit to Mexico, who played very well. But our team showed character, and I'm proud of all of us." The game was full of emotions, with goals, penalties and even a red card, making the victory even more enjoyable for England. With this victory, the team advances to the quarter-finals, where they seek to win the long-awaited World Cup title, and Bellingham will certainly be a key player in this quest. The midfielder's performance will be remembered not just as a great performance, but as a moment that could define his career and his trajectory in the England team. --- ## Related Articles 1.
