Héctor Bellerín really wants to go back to Real Betis, 1990
The defender played well, won a trophy and grew a luxurious mullet/mustache combination during his time on loan
Héctor Bellerín had a really great time on loan at Real Betis.
Bellerín played at Arsenal for seven seasons before he departed for his native Spain ahead of the 2021-22 season. At Betis, the 27-year-old made 32 total appearances, helped the team win the Copa del Rey, and also grew a luxurious mullet/mustache combination that wouldn’t have looked out of place in the early 90s.
Seriously, this is beautiful.

Though Bellerín is set to return to Arsenal after his season-long loan expires, he has made it very clear that he would like to be sent straight back to Seville as soon as possible.
“I have always shown that I feel really at home here and I want to be here, but it is not that simple,” he said in a recent interview with Betis TV.
“Right now the situation is that I have to go back [to Arsenal]. I have spoken to both clubs, made my thoughts clear and from there we have two months in which we will try to make the best deal for all three parties.
“I have always said it, I made an effort to come here and I am willing to do anything to have this continue to be my home because I am happy.”
Bellerín sends a message through new tattoo
If Arsenal didn’t get Bellerín’s message clearly enough through his interview, the right back also sent another message through a new tattoo.
Bellerín was given some new ink on the pitch at the Estadio Benito Villamarín, which he called “my favorite place.”

The tattoo reads: “In this game, the person who has the best time wins.”
