""It would be easier to take a cab. I know I'm privileged, but it's more of a revindication. We need greener cities, with fewer cars," Bellerin says. The 30-year-old is passionate about trying to live a more sustainable life, something he shares with his 3.7 million followers on social media. And on Monday he was named global champion at the BBC Green Sport Awards."
""I learned a lot from him - not focused on sustainability itself because I feel like that word nowadays has very clear connotations, but more about a holistic way of living, and I think sustainability comes into that," Bellerin says. "With sustainability comes empathy and compassion. These are all traits that you get when you decide to take care of the place that gives you life. "Wenger was someone that was very conscious of all these traits and he tried to project them in his own way. I think he did a great job with that.""
