The Barca duo were so impressed by Hector Bellerin's display that they went to seek him out after the match
Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique sought out Hector Bellerin to congratulate him on his performance in Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to Barcelona, according to Sport.
The report claims that after the match, the Barca duo were so ‘amazed’ with Bellerin’s display that they went to seek out the Arsenal right-back to speak to him.
And while the report has not suggested that a transfer could be on the cards, both Iniesta and Pique highlighted the 20-year-old’s rapid progression and wished him luck.
Bellerin began his youth career at Barcelona but joined the Gunners as a 16-year-old in the summer of 2011.
The Spaniard, who has not yet earned a senior cap with the national side, made his first-team debut for Arsenal in 2013 but has gone on to become a regular in Arsene Wenger’s side ahead of Mathieu Debuchy.
