Micah Richards convinces Declan Rice to do hilarious new celebration that Jude Bellingham 'bottled'

Micah Richards has convinced Declan Rice to perform a new celebration when he next scores for Arsenal - and the pair shook hands on the deal live on air.

Rice walked over to the CBS Sports punditry booth prior to kick-off in order to do an interview with Richards, Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry and Kate Abdo.

It wasn't an entirely conventional interview, with the England star even asked how much he paid for a haircut - leaving the quartet shocked with his answer.

The topic of conversation then turned towards celebrations, with Richards bringing up how he had asked Jude Bellingham to perform a special tribute celebration - only for the Real Madrid star to 'bottle it'.

Richards then asked Rice: "If you score tonight, instead of doing whatever you normally do, just do a little 'M' for Big Meeks." To illustrate the request, he then showed off the required motions as well.

Carragher interjected: "Little Meeks! Little Meeks!"

But Richards and Rice then shook on the deal, with the ex-Manchester City defender adding: "Jude couldn't do it, but you can."

The Bellingham comment is a throwback to a game of EA FC 24 between the Real Madrid midfielder and Richards back in January - where there was a wager on the line.

If Richards won, Bellingham would have been forced to perform the 'M' celebration when he scored his next goal.

Despite hilariously having two players sent off, Bellingham managed to win 5-2 and thus avoided having to do the celebration - even if Richards jokingly claims that he 'bottled it'.

Rice, it appears, hasn't been so lucky, although the Arsenal midfielder will be hoping that he can grab a goal en route to the Gunners reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 14 years.

In order to do so, they will have to overcome a 1-0 deficit from the first leg after Galeno's curling strike from distance in injury time in Portugal.
