Bellerin has played for Spain at senior level but is a regular for the U21 side. They have group games against Macedonia, Portugal and Serbia and if they progress would then play a semifinal and a final.
Therefore, if Spain reach the final and Bellerin plays every minute, he would have played 450 minutes in total. In that scenario, the right-back would donate 22,500 pounds to the victims of the tragedy (around 25,650 euros).
