A fresh study conducted by the research team at OLBG reveals that Jude Bellingham, the standout talent from Real Madrid, has experienced an extraordinary surge of over 1.5 million new followers on Instagram within a mere five-day span.

The investigation analyzed Bellingham’s Instagram account during a pivotal week where he showcased a stunning performance. This included scoring two pivotal goals against arch-rivals Barcelona in El Clasico and securing the coveted Kopa Trophy, an honor celebrating the world’s top-performing player under the age of 21.

Bellingham’s noteworthy accomplishments continued as he clinched all three points for Real Madrid with a late second goal against Barcelona last Saturday. Following this, he made his way to Paris for the 2023 Ballon d’Or Awards where he made history as the first Englishman to secure the prestigious Kopa Trophy. Since that pivotal Saturday, Bellingham’s Instagram following has surged by an astounding 1,558,574.

The research extended to exploring Bellingham’s exceptional goal-scoring streak. Analysts meticulously tracked his Instagram following on the day following each of his past five performances for Real Madrid, aiming to discern the influence of his stellar on-field displays on his social media presence.

Bellingham’s scorching run of goals, which has seen him net in four out of his last five games, is evidently resonating with his burgeoning fanbase. On average, during the last five games, every instance Bellingham scores for Real Madrid results in a surge of approximately 194,459 new followers on Instagram.

Leo Coleman, a spokesperson for OLBG, shared insights on the findings: “With an enormous price tag on his shoulders, Jude Bellingham has undeniably dominated discussions among this season’s finest footballers so far.”

“The English sensation has notched up an impressive tally of 13 goals in just 13 games, surpassing and matching records set by illustrious Madrid icons such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane. It remains intriguing to observe the trajectory of his Instagram following if he sustains this remarkable goal-scoring form and how swiftly he’ll close in on Real Madrid’s Instagram titans like Toni Kroos and Vinicius Jr.”
