A Young Prodigy in the Field
Marc Bernal, at just 17 years old, has become one of the brightest promises in Catalan football. Considered by many to be the successor to Sergio Busquets, Bernal has shown that his contribution to the game goes beyond his position as a midfielder, with an amazing ability to score goals.
A career marked by numbers
Since his arrival at FC Barcelona at the age of 8, Bernal has left his mark on the Masia. In 7-a-side football, he scored an impressive 243 goals in 153 games, which gives him an average of 1.58 goals per game, an admirable record for a player in his position.
Adaptation and Growth in Football-11
The move to under-11 football was a new challenge for Bernal, who had to adapt to the dynamics of the game with restrictions due to COVID-19. However, he continued to prove his worth, scoring goals at crucial moments and displaying a tactical maturity that has caught the attention of his coaches and teammates.
Obstacles and Resilience
The childhood and cadet years were not without difficulties, as Bernal faced growth problems that influenced his performance. However, his ability to find the back of the net was not affected, and his transition to the midfield position was not a hindrance to his goal-scoring productivity.
Impact on Barça Atlético
With Rafa Márquez in charge, Bernal played 35 games for Barça Atlètic, where his influence was felt despite scoring just two goals. His statistics in ten years in the Barça quarry are impressive: 286 games and 280 goals, an average of 0.97 goals per game, surpassing even established figures such as Robert Lewandowski.
The Role of Hansi Flick in its Development
The arrival of Hansi Flick as coach of FC Barcelona has been decisive for Bernal’s career. Known for his ability to discover young talents, Flick has recognized in Bernal a potential that goes beyond a simple midfielder. His confidence in the young player is a clear sign that Bernal’s future is promising.
A Bright Future Ahead
With his innate abilities and the support of a visionary coach, Marc Bernal is emerging as one of the most prominent names in the future of FC Barcelona. His trajectory so far is only a preview of what is to come, and the football world will be watching his evolution in the coming years.
