This landmark could be achieved in the Club World Cup semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. Bellingham has been a consistent presence in the team, starting all but four of his previous 99 matches for Madrid.

Real Madrid have an impressive record in the Club World Cup, remaining unbeaten with 17 wins and three draws. They have secured victories in 15 of their last 16 matches in this competition since 2014. The only exception was a draw against Al-Hilal in this year's group stage. Despite not winning any domestic trophies in the 2024-25 season, they claimed the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup.

Bellingham has made a significant impact at Real Madrid, scoring 38 goals across all competitions and providing 27 assists. His contributions include scoring the opening goal in their 3-1 victory over Pachuca during the Club World Cup group stage. "I'm very proud to be able to achieve it," he told RealmadridTV. "Everyone knows that 100 games for Real Madrid is a great dream come true and a great achievement."

Bellingham expressed his pride in reaching this milestone, emphasising how much it means to play for such a prestigious club. He said, "I can't believe what it means to play for this club. The level you have to be at, the effort you have to put into play." Representing Real Madrid 100 times is an incredible achievement for him and his family.

The midfielder hopes to continue achieving significant goals with Real Madrid, including winning more titles and contributing to the team's success. He dreams of winning the Champions League and LaLiga while playing alongside incredible teammates and being part of memorable matches.

Facing PSG: A Crucial Challenge

As Real Madrid prepare to face PSG in the semi-final, Bellingham remains calm and focused on the task ahead. "We're coming to the end of the competition," he said. "We've been here for three weeks, and it's been a great experience." He emphasised staying relaxed and maintaining both physical and mental composure.

Bellingham acknowledged that facing PSG will be challenging as they are reigning Champions League holders. However, he expressed confidence in their preparation through good training sessions. "We know it'll be a difficult game," he stated, "but we'll do whatever it takes to win."

Despite high expectations due to Real Madrid's status as one of the world's biggest clubs, Bellingham embraces these challenges wholeheartedly. He aims to help secure victory against PSG and bring home another trophy for Madrid while continuing his journey with this iconic team.
