Bernal was highly rated at La Masia and viewed by Barcelona as part of a long-term project, but a knee injury delayed his senior debut by 345 days. This season focused on rebuilding his rhythm and confidence, and he delivered high-quality, consistent performances until a potential injury risk around Barcelona’s UCL match vs Atletico Madrid. After returning, Hansi Flick gave him minutes in all five Barcelona games through season end, with starts in the final three and near full-game involvement. Luis de la Fuente did not select him for Spain’s final World Cup squad, but included him in the support group for the training camp, keeping him with La Roja until June 4 for senior-team training and atmosphere ahead of the World Cup.
