Bellerin shows off giant snake tattoo on leg during Real Madrid clash

  /  arrowhead

Bellerin paraded a shin-long snake tattoo as Real Madrid wriggled off the hook against his Arsenal side.

The Spain right-back showed off a twisting serpent on his right leg as Real won 3-2 on penalties following a 2-2 International Champions Cup draw in Washington.

Perhaps Bellerin was celebrating edging closer to fitness for the Gunners' Premier League opener at Newcastle on August 11 after a knee injury sustained last January.

And in fact he had already outed his inking on the Louis Vuitton Paris catwalk in mid-June when he wore a pink outfit about as subtle as the £3million car collection team-mate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has assembled since joining Arsenal in January 2018.

Bellerin is still not quite ready for starting action as Arsenal warm up for the Prem in the USA.

But far from having a hissing fit over his injury, the 24-year-old has knuckled down over the summer and is looking sharp.
