Héctor Bellerín

He made his competitive debut away to West Bromwich Albion in the same competition the following 25 September, coming on in the 95th minute as a substitute in a penalty shootout victory after a 1–1 draw.

Two months later, Bellerín joined Championship club Watford on a two-month loan deal, and made his debut against Yeovil Town eight days after signing.

Héctor Bellerín Moruno (born 19 March 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back or wing-back for La Liga club Real Betis.

Bellerín started his career at Barcelona, and moved to Arsenal in 2011.

He played 239 games across all competitions, winning three FA Cups and two FA Community Shields, as well as a Copa del Rey while on loan at Real Betis.

He returned to Barcelona in September 2022, and had a brief spell at Sporting CP in the Portuguese Primeira Liga before a permanent move to Betis.

Bellerín played internationally for Spain from under-16 to under-21 levels.

He moved to Arsenal in the summer of 2011, and signed his first professional contract the following year.

While a youth player at Arsenal, Bellerín also helped the club to reach fourth place of the NextGen Series of 2012–13.

Bellerín was first included in an Arsenal squad on 26 September 2012, remaining unused in their League Cup third round 6–1 win at home to Coventry City.

The loan at Watford was extended until the end of the season, but he was recalled by Arsenal in February 2014.

Following injuries to Mathieu Debuchy, Calum Chambers and Nacho Monreal, Bellerín made his Champions League debut on 16 September 2014 in a 2–0 defeat away to Borussia Dortmund.

He scored his first goal for Arsenal on 1 February 2015, in a 5–0 win against Aston Villa, and added a second on 4 April to open a 4–1 win over Liverpool despite also conceding a penalty kick through a foul on Raheem Sterling.

Bellerín was selected to start for Arsenal in the 2015 FA Cup Final on 30 May, helping the team keep a clean sheet in a 4–0 win over Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium.

He signed a new long-term contract before the 2015–16 season and played the entirety of Arsenal's 1–0 win over rivals Chelsea in the 2015 FA Community Shield.

He was the sole Arsenal player listed in the season's PFA Team of the Year, and came in third place in Arsenal's Player of the Season voting.

He made his senior debut for Spain in 2016 and was later chosen for the European Championship of that year.

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Bellerín started his club football career in Barcelona's youth team.

On 21 November 2016, he signed a new long-term contract after agreeing to a deal that ties him to the club until 2022.

Bellerín featured in the following season throughout Arsenal's victorious 2016–17 FA Cup campaign.

He played in the Cup final which Arsenal went on to win by a 2–1 margin against Chelsea.

He was again triumphant in the Gunners lifting the 2017 Community Shield by beating Chelsea 4–1 on penalties.

Bellerín scored his first goal of Arsenal's 2017–18 season in Arsenal's 3–1 victory over 1. FC Köln.

On 3 January 2018, Bellerín earned a draw for Arsenal against Chelsea with what BBC Sport described as 'stunning injury-time strike' in the 92nd minute, having earlier conceded a penalty for a foul on Eden Hazard.

Bellerín played the full time match as Arsenal lost the EFL Cup by 3–0 to Manchester City at Wembley.

On 7 March 2018, Bellerín was ruled out of the Europa League first leg clash against Milan with an unknown return date.

Bellerín missed out the first five weeks of the 2018–19 season due to a calf problem.

During a league game against Chelsea on 19 January he suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee and was stretchered off of the pitch in the 70th minute at the Emirates Stadium.

He was later ruled out for nine months, consequently missing the remainder of the season and the start of the 2019–20 season.

Arsenal coach Unai Emery perceives Bellerín as "very mature" and believes that "he is already preparing to come back stronger than before".

On 24 September 2019, Bellerín made his return from injury as a substitute in Arsenal's 5–0 victory against Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup.

On 21 January 2020, he scored in the 87th minute to help Arsenal earn a 2–2 draw against Chelsea in the Premier League.

That was his only goal of the season.

On 14 February 2021, Bellerín scored his first goal of the 2020–21 season in a 4–2 win over Leeds United in the Premier League.

On 1 September 2022, Bellerín returned to Barcelona following the termination of his contract at Arsenal.
