Arsenal in the Community participant Bethel Mekuria enjoyed a night to remember last Tuesday as she walked out as Declan Rice’s mascot for our UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid.
After Declan scored two spectacular free kicks in our 3-0 win, he invited Bethel to spend the afternoon at Sobha Realty Training Centre to remember the special occasion that will live with her forever.

enough to make a grown man cry
Oh, bless you both, I'm all welled up.
Thank You Bethel We've Won!!!
Disappointed when he didn’t declare for Ireland but now from his perspective it makes perfect sense. He did what was right for him. He exudes kindness and class and has a profound and wonderful respect for all he encounters. Absolute gentleman
Declan rice 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
For Artena buy Bayer Munchen left wing Brayan Zaragoza cheap still young dribbling ok spid okh 😎🙏🏻
You can't fake that. He seems like a genuine guy.
This is one of many, many reasons why I've followed this club for 57 years. Pure Class!! What top player and human being Declan Rice is.
A big thank you to the Declan's parents. An amazing job…what a lovely man.
She is Ethiopian Arsenal is huge in Ethiopia.
I know other clubs do such things, but Arsenal hit's different.
❤💛💚🤎
This man needs to be CAPTAIN ❤❤
This man is a class act.
She is of Ethiopian 🇪🇹 descent. And I am a proud fan of Arsenal from Ethiopia. Arsenal should have to visit Ethiopia and expand its fan base here. Ethiopia is a big market with over 150 million population (the second largest population in Africa and the 9th in the world).
Think over it😊
Dec is a lovely warm man. This is what parents should teach their children
Declan is the best that happened to the squad for a long time
ETHIOPIA💚💛❤
Wow❤❤❤
Big 43 yo man wiping away the tears before my wife and kids see me🤣❤️
I rate Odegaard but boy rice has to be our captain soon.
My God…..since childhood i was a fan of Arsenal……but when….when will I get the chance to meet personally with these players…… only God knows me better…….
Sooo classy from Declan and the club ! You can tell Bethel was nervous but she held out well ❤
Thank you Rice for good taking care of Bethel! You are the simply the most humble soccer player…
Arsenal is the most beloved club in Ethiopia. And we are proud of that !

Love from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 I spent all my life supporting Arsenal since before Dennis scored that beautiful goal vs Newcastle…Hopefully we are going to make history just 3 games away to rap it up in Munich….Arsenal players and fans please no fear we just need mental strength to beat any team in the world
🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 Ethiopia and Arsenal are z same to me. I am Ethiolian by z way!
His an example for every man
No wonder David Moyes said Arsenal owe him more money for Declan. David Moyes said this much before the Arsenal – RMA game. Much more to come from the amazing Dec.
Bethel she's Ethiopian girl 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Quality & Class. That is Declan Rice & Arsenal. The first free kick was world class. That second goal was unbelievable.
Such a down to earth player!Declan you are such a humble person!
Beautiful video and beautiful football club. Dec you are getting so much love and it is all deserved . You are a hero.
i love DR please keep your performance and stay at Arsenal until u retire
Love Declan Rice, such a nice guy who still has his feet on the ground.
Ethiopian
Great player and an amazing human being. He is credit to this sport, his community, and his fans.
Rice is one of the best role models. Such a class act. Should be Arsenal and England captain.
What a lovely man and gesture, Arsenal's gain is West Hams loss, Good luck Gooners, from a Hammer ⚒️
My Ethiopian girl❤my blood❤
I am a big fan of Arsenal from ETHIOPIA 💚💛❤🇪🇹
She is of ETHIOPIA 💚💛❤🇪🇹 descent.
And I am a proud fan of Arsenal from Ethiopia. Arsenal should have to visit Ethiopia and expand its fan base here. Ethiopia is a big market with over 150 million population (the second largest population in Africa and the 9th in the world).
Arsenal has more fans in Ethiopia than anywhere in the World. Yes, including the U.K. Millions of us (Arsenal fans) would crave for the team to visit 💚💛❤🇪🇹
